Breaking: Michigan WR Roman Wilson declares for the NFL Draft…

Michigan Wolverines’ wide receiver Roman Wilson is set to take his talents to the NFL Draft, marking another departure of a key offensive player for the National Championship team in the upcoming season. Wilson’s decision comes on the heels of accepting an invitation to the Senior Bowl, an announcement that followed Michigan’s triumph over the Washington Huskies in the National Championship.

As a pivotal player for the Wolverines, Wilson emerged as the primary target for quarterback J.J. McCarthy throughout the 2023 season. His impressive stats include leading the team with 48 receptions, 789 yards, and a notable 12 touchdowns. A testament to his consistent performance, Wilson earned the title of Wolverines’ Offensive Player of the Week on six occasions during his final year at Michigan.

Despite having an extra season of eligibility due to the COVID-affected 2020 season, Wilson opted to forgo a potential return to Michigan. The decision is justified by the fact that his draft stock is currently at its peak, making this move a strategic one for the senior wideout.

Wilson’s overall contribution to the Michigan football program is commendable, with 46 appearances over four seasons resulting in 1,707 yards and 20 touchdowns. His departure leaves a legacy in Ann Arbor, marked by accomplishments such as being a national champion, a three-time Big Ten champion, and securing a spot on the 2023 second-team All-Big Ten roster.

Among the highlights of Wilson’s Michigan career is a memorable leaping catch during a crucial touchdown-scoring drive late in the game against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl. As he transitions to the NFL Draft, Wilson leaves behind a trail of accomplishments that have solidified his place in Michigan football history.
