  • Jon Jansen
  • Jake Rudock
  • LaMarr Woodley
  • Brandon Graham
  • Marlin Jackson (confirmed today)

I'm sure there will be a lot of recorded videos from celebrities like there last year. 

Big Sean would be an awesome surprise if he showed up. He did an announcement last year for Onwenu since he's a Cass Tech guy and we have two this year.

Marlin Jackson is one of my heros. He was my favorite of the Carr-era Cornerbacks (non-Woodson division, obvs). He had one hell of a childhood, which made me relate to him very much. 

It was great to see him be the one to intercept Brady (who I cannot hate, by definition) to send the Colts to the Super Bowl. It's pretty cool that he's also a great guy by all accounts.

I'm a big Pats fan and that was the probably the most conflicted I have ever been in my sports-following life. I met Marlin Jackson when I was a very young Michigan fan at one of the youth signing day events, Marlin's freshman year. He was incredibly nice, signed whatever I had on me that day, and took a picture with me. Later in the year I had to do a school project and I did mine on college football, so I wrote Marlin a letter with some questions and the photo that I had taken with him. He answered all my questions, autographed the picture and was great about writing me back. I also made an effort growing to collect NFL jerseys of former Michigan players, so I had to get a Marlin Jackson jersey when the Colts drafted him. 

 

I loved following Marlin at Michigan, and as much as it stung when that pass was intercepted, I was very happy that Marlin got that moment, if it had to happen.
