Two things: don’t call it a comeback, and just because you’re not drafted or are demoted from the active roster to the practice squad, doesn’t mean you don’t have a shot at the NFL.
There are several former Wolverines who have made NFL rosters over the years, despite not going in the round of seven, including two with the Jacksonville Jaguars, as former defensive backfield teammates Jarrod Wilson and Brandon Watson are both on the squad of 53. Likewise, former right tackle Erik Magnuson was recently promoted to the Oakland Raiders roster. And now, another team is calling up another player who once wore the winged helmet.
Perhaps underrated in his ability as a Wolverine, former Michigan defensive tackle Bryan Mone was an absolute force in the middle of the defensive line, and was the best run-stopper for the maize and blue. He signed as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks after the culmination of the 2019 NFL Draft, and now it looks like his hard work has paid off.
According to Pro Football Talk, Mone has been promoted to the active roster, for the second time this year, after playing in the first three games of the season.
The Seahawks had a roster spot open up Friday when the NFL suspended defensive tackle Al Woods. The team is filling the roster spot by promoting defensive tackle Bryan Mone, coach Pete Carroll told reporters.
Mone originally signed with the Seahawks on April 28 after going undrafted.
In his three games to start the season, Mone registered three tackles, all in the season opener.
As a Wolverine, Mone accumulated 38 tackles with 6 for loss and 2 sacks in five years.
