NFL Draft 2024: Michigan Sets School Record as J.J. McCarthy Among 13 Players Picked

No college program was better represented in the 2024 NFL Draft than the defending national champions.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy was the first of 13 Michigan players taken off the board this weekend, setting a program record and leading all schools in the 2024 draft, per USA Today's John Leuzzi.

The 13 former Wolverines also marked the third-highest number of players ever drafted from the same program in 30 years of the seven-round draft, Leuzzi noted.

Georgia set the all-time record when 15 former Bulldogs were drafted in 2022, per NCAA.com's Stan Becton.
