Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Ryan Mundy

Ryan Mundy
New York Giants free safety Ryan Mundy had 6 tackles, 1 pass breakup, and 1 interception that he returned 91 yards for a near touchdown. Unfortunately, the Giants lost by a score of 36-31 to the Dallas Cowboys. Mundy had 86 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 3 interceptions, and 1 pass breakup at Michigan from from 2003-2006 before transferring to West Virginia for his senior year in 2007.

Honorable mention: Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley had 4 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, and 1 quarterback hurry in a 16-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans; teammate Zoltan Mesko, previously released by the New England Patriots, averaged 44.1 yards on 7 punts in the loss. Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Leon Hall had 7 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 2 pass breakups in a 24-21 loss to the Chicago Bears. And in case you were wondering, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson had 2 carries for 1 yard in a 28-2 loss to Kansas City (which featured Junior Hemingway on a 3-yard touchdown reception).

    I really haven't payed much attention so I'm asking, did New England improve themselves at punter?

      Ryan Allen is a rookie from Louisiana Tech. He only averaged 39 yards/punt, but he hit a long of 65 and put 3 inside the 20, so that might have brought down his average a bit.

    It's before my time but why did Mundy transfer to West Virginia?

      The gist I got was that he was in the process of being demoted in favor of Brandent Englemon, and Mundy took a grad year transfer rather than sit on the bench.

    You forgot to mention that he knocked out the best CB the Giants have. Prince Amukamara. Friendly fire!
