Tate Forcier is BACK in football
A friend sent me something and said Tate is playing football again. Apparently, he is playing for the Los Angeles Marauders of the PS-AFL.

(LOS ANGELES) -- The Los Angeles Marauders have activated former University of Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier for Sunday's Professional Spring American Football League game against the SoCal Coyotes in Palm Springs.
The Marauders lost starting quarterback Kyle Parrish due to injuries from last week's 34-6 opening day. Forcier joins Kadell Washington (San Jose State) as the two active quarterbacks on the Marauder roster.
Forcier completed 165 of 281 (58.7) for 2,050 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions during his tenure at Michigan. He rushed 118 times for 240 yards.
Forcier appeared briefly with the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Parrish finished last week's game, but was sacked six times by a devastating Coyote defense that gave up only 169 total yards.

Looks like Tate Forcier is playing football again. This time with the LA Marauders of the PS-AFL, a semi-pro spring football league.

Watching 2009 ND highlights now for the first time in a while "Great move by Forcier!....Touchdown Michigan!"
Happy for him. He was a good player at UM, and while I wished it had worked out better I wished him no ill will when he left. Seems like he's figuring out what he needed to make it work.
I wish him many crazy moxie-induced runs.
More like a stoned man's Manziel.
I'll forever wonder what would've happened in 2012 against Nebraska if a senior Tate was put in instead of Russell Bellomy.
There were a few games throughout the Borges era I thought Tate could have been a nice change-of-pace quarterback for a drive or two.
However, in a way him leaving and michigan losing more games facilitated RR's firing, which had to be done, given the infighting it caused at Michigan.
