Michigan Football finally broke through and won a national championship this year with one of the most talented rosters the school has ever developed. It's no wonder they're sending more players to the NFL Combine than any other school has in more than two decades.
The Michigan Wolverines are sending 18 players to Indianapolis to showcase their talents at the 2024 NFL Combine. And according to Adam Schefter, that's officially the highest number from any school to attend the same combine since at least 2003.
The full list of Michigan NFL Combine prospects includes a bevy of future pro talent on both sides of the ball with 11 from offense and seven from the defense.

What's more impressive than just how many players are going to the NFL Combine is how many are expected to be drafted early. Six of Michigan's players participating in the NFL Combine are actually expected to be top 100 picks per PFF's Big Board as of this week. Only one other school has that many projected top 100 players and that's Alabama.
It's also impressive that Michigan has five more players representing them at the Combine than any other school. The top schools by most players at the Combine can be found in this post below.
Looking at the full list it's easy to see why Michigan won the national championship this year. Washington had several key veterans, but still clearly fell short of future NFL depth when compared to Michigan. And 10 prospects at the Combine is actually rather low for Alabama's standards. Michigan was just flat out better and deeper roster-wise than any other team in the country this past year.
NFL Combine players are already arriving in Indianapolis for their interviews, medical exams, and physical testing. We'll have plenty of updates on all the top Michigan Wolverines and all other 300+ prospects participating as the week progresses.
