Darn. I may have gotten too succinct with the title.
"Wolverines in NFL" could simply be a list, though I meant it refer to their work over the weekend.

I think your title is fine OP - no worries.
FYI I was at the Browns game and DPJ's family were in the Draft Room again at half. I literally watched the catch along side Donovan's mom and other family members which was pretty exciting. Unfortunately for me (and Donovan's mom) I had taken my 29 year old to the game to celebrate his birthday and he massively overdid the open bar that day. So my extremely drunk son was DETERMINED to give Mrs Peoples-Jones a congradulatory hug and she was equally determine to not get one from this drunken stranger. I finally wrestled him away much to her relief I'm sure.

Cool to share the moment with DPJ's family.
Cool to avoid too much embarrassing hugging. (When my son gets drunk, he only talks long and loud. So far.)

The second cool story bro' of the day from you, MGO!

Thanks. The irony is one happened 41 years ago and one happened 48 hours ago.

Glad that DPJ had a breakout game; hopefully he can build on it. Also, glad Evans was able to pick up his first score.
Forgot Collins was reactivated, so that's a guy I think who'll show up better as the season progresses in Houston.

Yeah, but ex-Alabama players scored a whopping 13 touchdowns this past weekend across the NFL slate.

Derrick Henry accounted for damn near 10 of those

Author of article mixed up the score from Bucs-Eagles game with Brady's Comp-Att stat line.

Glad for them all, not least of all DPJ. But I found this somewhat irksome:
According to PFF, Donovan Peoples-Jones leads the NFL in contested catch % going 9-9 in 2021 (min 4 CTT). He also leads all receivers in passer rating when targeted (158.3).
I kind of wish we'd been able to see more of that when he was Michigan, for whatever reason.
