What is the story about?
Earlier this week, we asked fans which Michigan player selected in the 2026 NFL Draft has the best fit with their new team. And now the results are in.
Edge rusher Derrick Moore was by far the voting favorite, recording 60% of the votes. Moore was selected in the second round with the No. 44 overall pick. The 6-foot-4, 255-pound pass rusher recorded 21 sacks in 53 games at Michigan with 24.5 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles.

as well as linebacker Jimmy Rolder, who was drafted in the fourth round last week.
“I’m definitely excited to be playing next to Hutch, and hopefully I can learn a lot from him, and we can go out and cause a lot of havoc,” Moore said.
