There were no real standouts this week – nobody from Michigan scored a touchdown or had significant yardage or interceptions or even tackle numbers. So here’s a nod to Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins, who caught 4 passes for 65 yards in a 13-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Collins played at Michigan from 2017-2019 and opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID concerns. He caught 78 passes for 1,388 yards and 13 touchdowns during his career in Ann Arbor.
