Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Tom Brady

"Stop asking me about my arm." - Tom Brady

After a nine week hiatus, Tom Brady "wins" this fine award for the second consecutive week. He went 24-of-34 for 361 yards with three touchdowns and zero picks on Sunday in the Patriots 38-20 downing of the Eagles. Through eleven games, Brady has thrown for a whopping 3,627 yards and 28 touchdowns with a 65.8 completion percentage. Tom Martinez, who works with Brady in the off-season, said that Brady has an arm injury that is "affecting his throws," and several major media outlets purport that "Brady doesn't look quite right." Brady denies the injury, and true or not - I think these people are looking too hard. Philadelphia WR and former Wolverine Jason Avant caught eight passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in the game.

Honorable Mention: Ryan Mundy - who played at and graduated from Michigan and then played a year under Rich Rodruiguez at West Virginia - now backs up All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu. Against the Chiefs this week, he chalked up eleven tackles and an interception as his Steelers won a 13-9 battle to improve their record to 8-3.
