We’ve seen the end of the Jalen Mayfield era on the Michigan offensive line, after just one year.
The Wolverines right tackle won the job in 2019 after a spring competition with Andrew Stueber — who tore his ACL in the offseason. And Mayfield made the most of his opportunity in his redshirt freshman season, landing himself in a handful of first and second-round 2021 NFL Draft projections.

With the Big Ten effectively canceling its fall season, that’s all that Mayfield needed to see. Rather than wait to see what a potential spring season might hold, two years in Ann Arbor is it for Mayfield, as he announced on Tuesday he’s entering the NFL draft.

According to PFF ($), Mayfield was ranked the No. 123 tackle in 2019, with a grade indicating he’s a better run blocker than against the pass. The scouting website lists his best offensive games as being (in-order) against Rutgers, Army and Alabama.
