Avant is one of Michigan's all-time top 10 outside receivers (maybe even top 8).
Don't forget, Braylonfest didn't happen without some key catches in that game by Jason Avant.

FOOTBALL! Michigan Football!

I sure wish we had someone of his caliber lining up for us at wideout this season!

Jason Avant was much more athletic than Perry. If Perry comes close then props to him.

appreciate:
Chris Howard---who can forget how dependable he was in the Michigan backfield in that 1997 National Championship season?

Mouton was one of the few bright spots on defense during the RichRod era. Sucks his NFL career never happened because of injuries.

This is still one of my favorite catches by a Michigan WR. I could just keep rewatching this all day.
August 26th, 2015 at 9:08 AM ^
I'm with you. Of all the catches I have seen live on TV, this one is number five.
- Walker's one handed grab vs. Iowa
- ALL THE BRAYLON vs. MSU
- Charles Woodson INT in the Rose Bowl
- Manningham (PSU)
- Avant one handed grab vs. Northwestern
The weird part is that the Avant grab is during a blow out. How it has held up over the Roundtree, Gallon, Hemmingway, Mathews, etc. game winning or saving TDs really speaks to how awesome it was.

I think Woodson's 1 handed interception vs MSU trumps all of these. How is that one not on the list?
August 26th, 2015 at 10:50 AM ^
Agreed. Woodson's interception vs MSU is by far my favorite.
When I posted that video of Avant, I was only thinking of WR catches but now that I think about the catches by any position, we've had some great ones over the years. Ahh, Michigan football memories.

Didn't start watching Michigan games until 1997. The Ohio State game is my first recollection of any Michigan game. I was 7 years old.

Definitely one of the most vivid memories from Jason Avant and Michigan football in general. When I was looking at the pics from the OP, I really hoped this catch would have made the cut. Luckily, it was down here, thank you and upvote

I was thinking there were Nick Sheridan days to go this morning.

Of all the Avant pictures, I was surprised that the one in my avatar didn't make the cut. This will be his tenth year in the NFL. Pretty impressive for a receiver who has never put up huge numbers. Edwards, Breaston, and Manningham have all put up one or two huge pro seasons, but none of them have had the longevity due to injuries and consistency. Aside from Toomer, I can't think of another Michigan WR who stuck around in the NFL so long. Couple TEs, though.

Rick Leach days until game time?
