Here’s what I love about Aidan Hutchinson. It’s late in the game his initial rush was stalled but he never stopped moving, tracking the qb or ball. If he isn’t hustling the wr recovers his fumble. Is footwork is elite almost every play. pic.twitter.com/5Fkvd82X5C

Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Nico Collins

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.

• DE Taco Charlton (reserve/injured)
• DE Frank Clark
• DE Mike Danna
• QB Chad Henne
• OG Patrick Omameh (practice squad)

If you’re rooting for the GOAT, Tom Brady, then here are your fellow Wolverines:

Either way, tonight is going to be a good night for at least a couple wearers of the Maize and Blue.

What’s your prediction?

I’ll say 34-27, Chiefs.
