Jesse Madden, the grandson of Pro Football Hall of Famer John Madden, will enter his first season in the NFL after graduating from the University of Michigan. At Michigan, Madden played quarterback in his freshman season before switching to defensive back. Madden was a member of the 2024 national championship team at Michigan.

Madden, the grandson of NFL legend John Madden, will have the opportunity to reunite with fellow Michigan national champion, Mike Sainristil. The former wide receiver turned defensive back became one of the most productive NFL rookies during his first year in the league.
