Ben Muth: Michael Onwenu should be NFL ROY

Submitted by patrickdolan on November 14th, 2020 at 7:08 AM

"Rookie right tackle Michael Onwenu (71) is solid here too. He has been such a find for New England. He should be the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. It'll never happen because he doesn't touch the ball, but I find it hard to believe there's a better offensive rookie out there."

Not only does he not touch the ball, but he plays on a losing team that everyone around the league hates.

Good luck, Grapes!  We wish you were still in Ann Arbor!!

IIRC, the Penn State fans were all saying Michael was recruited by Michigan only because it was to get Rashan Gary to Michigan (they were friends).  They also claimed he'd be a 4 year bench warmer at Michigan.

Ha!

Harbaugh and his staff can and do create NFL caliber players. Unfortunately, he is unable to get many of them to play like NFL players while at the college level. How frustrating.

The funny thing is Michigan played him at RG, not right tackle.  He can start on an NFL team at RT, but M leaves him at guard.
