Junior Colson, who was coached by Jim Harbaugh during his time at the University of Michigan, will now be joining Harbaugh in the NFL as a member of the Los Angeles Chargers. Harbaugh recently returned to the NFL after nine seasons at Michigan to take on the role of head coach for the Chargers.
Colson is one of several Wolverines who were selected in the recent NFL draft. Notably, J.J. McCarthy was chosen as the 10th overall pick and will be playing as a quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. In the third round of the draft, three consecutive Michigan players were drafted: Blake Corum to the Rams, Roman Wilson to the Steelers, and Zak Zinter to the Bengals.
