Michigan DB Ambry Thomas declares for NFL Draft
Another Michigan star is heading to the NFL.
On Thursday evening, defensive back Ambry Thomas announced that his career at Michigan has come to an end. He will now focus his efforts on training for the 2021 NFL Draft. His decision comes a little over a week after the B1G called off the fall football season.
“After long thought and numerous discussions with my parents, I have decided to forego my remaining eligibility and declare for the 2021 NFL Draft,” Thomas wrote. “This was a very difficult decision as there is nothing I wanted to do more than suit up in the maize and blue this fall.”
