NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Devin Bush Jr. doesn’t know why Rashan Gary’s draft stock seems to be falling. But he does know this:
He’d select his former Michigan football teammate before himself in the 2019 NFL draft.
« I’d take him before me, » Bush said Wednesday at a pre-draft event at Nissan Stadium. « Just his potential’s crazy. I played with him, but I just know what he’s all about. Teams may be questioning that, but I know. »

Gary and Bush played together for three seasons at Michigan before entering the NFL draft after their junior years. Both are expected to be taken in the first round on Thursday.
But while Bush’s stock seems to be climbing as the expected No. 2 linebacker taken in this year’s class, Gary’s could be slipping toward the middle-to-late first round after widely being considered a top-10 pick.
