Chris Wormley writes classy thank you letter in The Michigan Daily

He's the perfect fit at DE in a 3-4 scheme-- which loads of NFL teams are running. With interior pass-rush at a premium, I don't think he makes it past the 2nd round.

The team will miss him sorely, and I hope he finds continued success moving forward.

Opposing teams' QBs, RBs, and OLs though?  They won't miss him one bit.

What a class act and talent.

Would love to see the Lions land him.

Thanks, Chris

Go Blue!

Will miss Wormley in so many ways.

Take a moment to reflect.  Then ask yourself "Who has it better than us?"

Great letter, hopefully this is just his first opportunity to send a heartfelt thank you to a big fanbase.

Very nice!  He will be missed for sure.  

a classy, young man. 

I had the chance to speak to Chris Wormley at this year's football bust.  I walked away very impressed.   

He has a bright NFL future in front of him, Hopefully, he does not get drafted by the Browns!

It has been a real pleasure to watch Chris Wormley play Team Defense.  Best of luck at the next level.

Always followed Chris closely as Whitmer was a rival of my HS team.  Glad he fulfilled his dreams at the best University in the World. Go Blue!

Great player, glad to have had him in the winged helmet these last several years. 

Blasts from the past are pretty consistent - naturally gifted, NFL frame, massive upside, either injured or just not fully engaged jr/sr years of high school.

He started slowly, but once the light bulb turned on, he was nigh unstoppable.

Redshirting:  “Well, I think most freshmen come in and try to get on the field and try to play.  But if not and I get redshirted, then that’s an extra year of school, an extra year to get bigger and stronger and work on the game of football.”

Strong motivation and drive:  “Just wait and see.  You can watch film all you want and roll back the tape of the games, but come out to practice, come out to a workout, go in the classroom and I’ll definitely prove you wrong, whoever thinks that my motivation isn’t at 100%.” 

I'm gonna miss him.  Great to have him & I hope he has many successful years in the NFL & beyond.

Best of luck Chris, and thanks for the years of dedicated service to UM. It was a pleasure watching you play.

Thanks Chris, you were a beast.

Stopping Barrett on that 4th down should have been the perfect capper to your michigan career, I'm sorry it was taken away from you.

letter from a true Michigan man. Thanks for the memories Chris and wish you the best of luck in the NFL.

is why I love Michigan football. Smart, classy, talented kids like this.

Thank you Chris for reaffirming my belief that Michigan football is special.

He made the most of his opportunity, and is gracious and grateful for it - that's just the best!

Best of luck to you, sir - your future is bright!

Go Blue!!

this shows what comes after football. this letter show he got more than football. good luck and please do stop by anytime.

in one of the spring games before he became a household name, knifing into the backfield, and I was thinking "where'd this guy come from?"  It was exciting to watch him blow up into a talented player that was a danger to every team out there.   Thanks for your leadership and contributions, Chris, and GO Blue!

Will be fun seeing him at the next level.  Can only hope there's another Chris Wormley waiting in the wings.  That would be pretty great for Michigan Football.

GO BLUE!!

I look forward to rooting on the Wolverines at the Big House with you in the future.

player at Michigan.  Good luck Chris.  

Wonderful example of a Leader and Best. Thank you, Mr. Wormley. You will be missed.
