Here’s some news Michigan football fans will absolutely love: Denard Robinson is coming back home.
The Deerfield Beach (Fla.) native has spent his post-NFL career in Jacksonville, first as an offensive analyst at Jacksonville University and more recently as a quality control coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team that drafted him and that he played for as an offensive weapon. However, according to former Michigan basketball player Anthony Wright, who now does breakdowns for On3, Robinson is coming back to Ann Arbor, and will be named the assistant director of player personnel, joining new director of player personnel Tom Gamble behind the scenes.
Message I just got: "Denard Robinson will be named as Asst Dir Player Personnel. Announcement soon."

Robinson wasn’t just a fan favorite in Ann Arbor, but perhaps ‘the’ fan favorite. He burst onto the scene in his very first carry, having fumbled the snap, but still picking it up and taking it in for a touchdown. From there, he was electric, earning the starting quarterback job in his second year and becoming a superstar on the national level. However, his career was derailed after suffering an ulnar nerve injury in his senior year against Nebraska in Lincoln.
