Zach Gentry arrived at Michigan as a highly-touted quarterback.

He left Ann Arbor as one of the Wolverines' top pass-catchers.

And now he's an NFL tight end.

Gentry, who left Michigan following the 2018 season, was taken by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL draft with the No. 141 overall pick.

"He’s a good football player," said Pittsburgh tight ends coach James Daniel. "Long frame. He’s a guy that we’re excited about getting in here and getting to work with.”
