While Michigan football continued to win their games, beating Indiana 39-14, the alumni were still quiet around the NFL as their struggles continued with even more players not putting up many stats or highlight plays. The former Wolverines haven’t had much to say around the NFL in the past few weeks and with the playoffs coming up that play has to improve and fast.

Check out how the former Michigan football players did this week around the NFL.
