Chris Simms isn't decided on the best defensive player in the 2022 NFL Draft pool, but he does know that the Jacksonville Jaguars need prospects who can make plays on that side of the ball.

Safety Daxton Hill has become the latest Michigan player to declare for the 2022 NFL draft. He announced his departure Thursday.

Hill joins pass rusher David Ojabo, defensive tackle Chris Hinton, edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and receiver Daylen Baldwin among Wolverines headed to the NFL.

Hill ranked second on the team with 70 tackles, including 4.5 tackles for loss. He also had two interceptions and nine pass breakups.

Conference coaches voted Hill first-team All-Big Ten.

Hill is expected to be one of the top safeties drafted this spring.
