Step aside Tom Brady, you won’t be the only former Wolverines quarterback to be starting for your team on this weekend.
While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller is often the focal point of Michigan football fans who watch the NFL, there will be another former maize and blue field general who will get his time to shine on Sunday. With the Kansas City Chiefs having locked up their postseason berth, star QB Patrick Mahomes is going to sit out the game vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. So what does that mean?
It means it’s Chad Henne time.
According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, Michigan’s past four-year starting QB is getting another shot to lead an NFL squad, as the Chiefs will be starting Henne this Sunday with Mahomes resting.

Henne’s starting days have been long behind him, as he first got his shot as a second-round pick by Miami after getting another chance with Jacksonville, with his last start coming in 2014. He’s been with Kansas City since 2018, playing a backup role for Mahomes throughout. While he’s seen some time this year, his two game appearances were both in mop-up duty.
