MICHIGAN FOOTBALL rounds after the Lions picked a Buck- eye, offensive tackle Taylor Decker, in the first round. "Big, strong, tough, durable," De- troit general manager Bob Quinn said when asked about Decker and Glasgow. "I think those are four words that you can probably de- scribe both of those guys [with], and versatile. "I think those are things that I al- ways look for and I think most teams look for in offensive linemen that can play multiple positions, handle the bigger guys inside along the de- fensive line. I think that's not just this year's theme, I think that's any theme that you have in terms of building the offensive line." On day three of the NFL Draft, de- fensive end Willie Henry heard his name called when he was picked in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens, 132nd overall. Later that April 30 afternoon, U-M quarterback Jake Rudock went to the Lions in round six, 191st overall. Henry started 22 of the 35 career games he participated in, recording 9.5 sacks and 18.5 tackles for loss among 86 total stops. He had a ca- reer-high 6.5 quarterback takedowns in 2015. "Coach [Jim] Harbaugh put in a great word with his brother [John, head coach for Baltimore] and the Ravens organization," Henry said. "They took a chance on me, and I'm not going to prove them wrong." Considered likely to go undrafted, Rudock was a bit of a surprise going in the sixth round. The QB completed 64.0 percent of his 389 pass attempts in 2015, good for 3,017 yards and 20 touchdowns with nine interceptions. He was named the MVP of the 2016 Citrus Bowl after connecting on 20 of 31 passes for 278 yards with three touchdowns in a 41-7 victory over Florida. "When I sat down with Jake, I re- ally saw a passionate football guy Satellite Camp Ban Overturned, Reopens Doors For U‑M Staff The NCAA's Division I Board of Directors overturned its own Division I Council ban on football satellite camps. Coaches may once again travel to regions other than their own school environment to conduct camps, and the Wolverines are planning to do just that. At this point, a tentative list of appearances by Michigan's staff at satellite camps (not including ones held on campus in Ann Arbor) reads as follows: • June 2 — Atlanta at Jackson High School • June 3 — Jacksonville, Fla., at Trinity Christian High School • June 3 — Fort Lauderdale, Fla., at St. Thomas Aquinas High School • June 4 — Tampa, Fla., with South Florida • June 4 — Cheshire, Conn., at Cheshire Academy
