Chris Wormley writes classy thank you letter in The Michigan Daily
January 19th, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
He's the perfect fit at DE in a 3-4 scheme-- which loads of NFL teams are running. With interior pass-rush at a premium, I don't think he makes it past the 2nd round.
January 19th, 2017 at 11:22 AM ^
The team will miss him sorely, and I hope he finds continued success moving forward.
Opposing teams' QBs, RBs, and OLs though? They won't miss him one bit.
January 19th, 2017 at 11:24 AM ^
What a class act and talent.
Would love to see the Lions land him.
January 19th, 2017 at 11:54 AM ^
I don't.
The Lions are a black hole of success. Even Tom Brady couldn't win with the Lions -- I don't wish the Lions on any Michigan Man.

January 19th, 2017 at 1:00 PM ^
Why do you wish him ill?
January 19th, 2017 at 4:37 PM ^
Why should Chris Wormley be punished? What did he ever do to you?
January 19th, 2017 at 11:31 AM ^
Do they still have a daily print version or only online?
January 19th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
Thanks, Chris
Go Blue!
January 19th, 2017 at 11:34 AM ^
Will miss Wormley in so many ways.
January 19th, 2017 at 11:35 AM ^
Take a moment to reflect. Then ask yourself "Who has it better than us?"

Great letter, hopefully this is just his first opportunity to send a heartfelt thank you to a big fanbase.
January 19th, 2017 at 11:38 AM ^
Very nice! He will be missed for sure.
January 19th, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
a classy, young man.
I had the chance to speak to Chris Wormley at this year's football bust. I walked away very impressed.
He has a bright NFL future in front of him, Hopefully, he does not get drafted by the Browns!
January 19th, 2017 at 12:06 PM ^
It has been a real pleasure to watch Chris Wormley play Team Defense. Best of luck at the next level.
January 19th, 2017 at 12:07 PM ^
Always followed Chris closely as Whitmer was a rival of my HS team. Glad he fulfilled his dreams at the best University in the World. Go Blue!
January 19th, 2017 at 4:45 PM ^
Start or Clay? Which one is Whitmer's biggest rival?

Great player, glad to have had him in the winged helmet these last several years.
Blasts from the past are pretty consistent - naturally gifted, NFL frame, massive upside, either injured or just not fully engaged jr/sr years of high school.
He started slowly, but once the light bulb turned on, he was nigh unstoppable.

Redshirting: “Well, I think most freshmen come in and try to get on the field and try to play. But if not and I get redshirted, then that’s an extra year of school, an extra year to get bigger and stronger and work on the game of football.”
Strong motivation and drive: “Just wait and see. You can watch film all you want and roll back the tape of the games, but come out to practice, come out to a workout, go in the classroom and I’ll definitely prove you wrong, whoever thinks that my motivation isn’t at 100%.”
January 19th, 2017 at 12:34 PM ^
Lions? Only if you don't want him to succeed! They have soooo many needs but it starts with coaching and I haven't seen it with the Lions. I'm hoping Cowboys as they are an up and coming team. ( especially with a trade of Romo ! )
Good luck Chris, wish you only the best because that is what you gave us.
January 19th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
I'm gonna miss him. Great to have him & I hope he has many successful years in the NFL & beyond.
January 19th, 2017 at 1:05 PM ^
Best of luck Chris, and thanks for the years of dedicated service to UM. It was a pleasure watching you play.
January 19th, 2017 at 1:42 PM ^
Thanks Chris, you were a beast.
Stopping Barrett on that 4th down should have been the perfect capper to your michigan career, I'm sorry it was taken away from you.
January 19th, 2017 at 1:27 PM ^
letter from a true Michigan man. Thanks for the memories Chris and wish you the best of luck in the NFL.
January 19th, 2017 at 1:29 PM ^
is why I love Michigan football. Smart, classy, talented kids like this.
Thank you Chris for reaffirming my belief that Michigan football is special.
He made the most of his opportunity, and is gracious and grateful for it - that's just the best!
Best of luck to you, sir - your future is bright!

in one of the spring games before he became a household name, knifing into the backfield, and I was thinking "where'd this guy come from?" It was exciting to watch him blow up into a talented player that was a danger to every team out there. Thanks for your leadership and contributions, Chris, and GO Blue!
January 19th, 2017 at 3:15 PM ^
hopefully with a winner...he deserves that.
January 19th, 2017 at 3:43 PM ^
Will be fun seeing him at the next level. Can only hope there's another Chris Wormley waiting in the wings. That would be pretty great for Michigan Football.
GO BLUE!!
