The Michigan football team’s postseason journey may be over, but many former Wolverines are still vying for championships in the NFL Playoffs, which are currently in progress with this week’s divisional round games.
Many former Wolverines are still fighting for championships in the NFL Playoffs, which are presently underway with this week’s divisional round games. The Michigan football team’s postseason journey may be done.
Just like his team, Nico Collins has enjoyed an exceptional breakout season. The former Michigan started a healthy 927 receiving yards and three touchdowns in his first two seasons, but burst onto the national scene with 80 catches, 1,287 yards (eighth in the NFL) and eight touchdowns (also eighth). That included an exceptional week 18 performance, in which he recorded nine catches for 195 yards and a touchdown.
He and the Texans (10-7 regular season, 1-0 playoffs) have won four of five to advance to the divisional round. Last week in his playoff debut, Collins caught six passes for 96 yards and a touchdown, and added a four-yard run in Houston’s 45-14 win.
The Ravens have three former Michigan players on their roster, but none are currently expected to play in the playoffs. Ojabo played in three games this season, recording six tackles, one sack and one forced fumble before missing the rest of the season with season-ending ACL injury.
Mason and Ross are on the practice squad and not expected to play in the playoffs. Mason has played one game this season, making his NFL debut with 20 snaps (19 on special teams) in Baltimore’s Week 18 loss to Pittsburgh. Ross played in three games for the Ravens this fall, playing 69 special teams snaps
