The New England Patriots selected Michigan offensive lineman Michael Onwenu in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, with pick No. 182. He was one of 10 former U-M players to be taken in the 2020 draft, which is tied for the second most out of any school.
At U-M, Onwenu started 35 career games and was a two-time All-Big Ten performer. He's ready now for the next step, to play at football's highest level.
Onwenu is just the latest to go from Ann Arbor to New England. He will team up with fellow Wolverines Josh Uche — who the Patriots took with the 60th overall pick in the second round — and Chase Winovich, who is entering his second year in New England.
