Michigan football had nine players selected during the 2023 NFL draft, including four going during the first two days. Mazi Smith was the lone first-round selection, but what truly made waves was when the 49ers drafted Jake Moody with a third-round pick.
The Wolverines had a few players go undrafted but a couple of guys signed as undrafted free agents. Right after the draft, cornerback Gemon Green inked a deal with the New York Giants.
On Sunday, per MLive’s Aaron McMann, the Arizona Cardinals signed Michigan tight end Joel Honigford.

Honigford came to Michigan as an offensive lineman but switched positions back in 2021 to a full-time tight end.
He was a three-star recruit in 2017 out of Sugarcreek, Ohio. Honigford appeared in 45 games with Michigan and received six starts at tight end. He had one reception for 10 yards during his tenure with the Wolverines.
