Desmond Howard - i was in the corner endzone for "the catch" as a little boy and ill never forget it



I really wish I could get a transcript about what exactly he said at the bust banquet though because that may change things for me

Tyrone Wheatley; it was during his time at Michigan that i started REALLY watching college football and loving the wolverines, and also why i always wore a single digit number, even as i grew into a DE.  A close second to Charles Woodson, because he's a stud for my favorite pro team

After thinking long and hard, I've narrowed it down to AC Vada-Molkley.

It changes year to year, and sometimes month to month, but I be liken me some Steve Hutchinson lately.  I met him in person and he was just a stand up guy.  A senior at UofM that had a bright NFL future ahead of him did not have to take the time to take a picture with some punk 9th grader and ask me questions like he was truly interested.  We talked for about 5-10 minutes, I will never forget how awesome he was.

May sound corny, but my favorite was Jake Frysinger. I played junior league ball with him in Woodhaven (til he outgrew the weight limit and then moved to Grosse Ile). We played against each other in basketball after that, including a double-overtime game when we were freshman. I moved to Ohio my sophomore year and that was it. We were never really close, but it was always cool to watch him play at Michigan.

Rick Leach was the first true freshman to start at quarterback for the Wolverines and ran the option to perfection for four years.  In 1978 Bo said "He is the greatest football player I have ever been associated with."

I sat next to Irons during a basketball game one year.  He was a cool guy.  When he signed my program he passed it to the guy next to him to sign.  It was Woodson, but at the time I had no idea who Woodson was.  Maybe he was on a recruiting trip.  That's my "cool story bro".

Never put it together fully but man he had some magical moments. And he was truly lethal on that Capital One Bowl against Florida. Did a damn fine Percy Harvin impersonation.
