    A favorite Michigan back. From the day when #42s had a tendency to screw up in life.

  2. "Cade McNamara 77-yard TD pass to Donovan Edwards (2021)" -- how much of that was in the air, and how much was YAC? I recall McNamara having a decent-enough arm out to about 30 yards, but I don't recall him being able to chuck 50+ yard bombs downfield.

    "Wilton Speight 56-yard pass to Chris Evans (2016)" -- the great "what might have been" from the past: how Speight may have developed had he not been injured. I don't think he ever would have been a superstar, but he seemed a pretty decent QB, and at the time of his injury it seemed Harbaugh was beginning to trust Speight a bit more each game.
