In the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots selected Michigan offensive guard Mike Onwenu. He will join Josh Uche as Wolverines that were drafted by the Patriots in this years draft. Former teammate Chase Winovich is also on the roster.

Onwenu is the sixth U-M player to be drafted in this year's draft, joining Uche, Ben Bredeson, Michael Danna, Khaleke Hudson and Cesar Ruiz.

"The 344-pound guard reminds me of a guy, Bennie Anderson, who used to play for the Baltimore Ravens," NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah said.

"He's a mauler, brawler, a finisher in the run game. You're not going to get through him in pass pro, through his chest because he's just too big and too strong.

"He's just a little bit limited once he gets out in space You're not drafting him to do that. You're drafting him to move the person that's right over his nose, something he did very well at the University of Michigan."

The Detroit native came to U-M as a four-star prospect, and was ranked as the No. 147 overall player in the class of 2016 and the No. 7 offensive guard.

Onwenu was a two-time All-Big Ten honoree (third team, coaches, 2018-19; honorable mention, media, 2018-19) during his career at U-M. He started in 35 career games, and was a starter in every game his last two seasons.
