Brad Robbins Returns for 6th Year Comment Count

Guy’s career is lasting longer than…than…sorry I can’t think of a metaphor right now. Something that goes up to Ann Arbor, and then stays there well past the point where even your biased brain thinks it should have come down.

The punts will continue to go boom, perhaps enough to win a Ray Guy. Robbins debuted as a true freshman in 2017 when Will Hart was struggling. However Hart’s emergence and an injury to Robbins meant the understudy only saw four punting opportunities in the next two seasons. Robbins passed Hart in 2020 and was one of the team’s few bright spots, keeping the team in the Indiana game with seven punts averaging 54 yards. Last year he appeared to add another uncanny half second to his hangtime, doing his part to help Michigan finish #1 in the country in special teams (to FEI and the award-givers), and 4th nationally in punting efficiency to FEI. More of that? Yes please!!!

Michigan’s still waiting on word from 2021 Lou Groza winning-kicker Jake Moody, but if now Moody goes pro Michigan won’t have to put both duties on RS freshman Tommy Doman.

Even great kickers have what, a 20% chance of making an NFL roster? Very good kickers maybe 10%? They sometimes get picked up during the season. 

10% chance x league minimum salary = $70k salary. Staying on scholarship while getting a master's degree may be the better financial decision.
