What's with former Wolverines in the NFL?

Submitted by Carcajou on November 21st, 2021 at 8:47 PM

Watching the Steelers play the Chargers now. Three former Wolverines starting on the Steelers defense. Only Wormley introduced himself as being from Michigan. Devin Bush gave his high school, and Taco Charlton said, "Columbus, Ohio." What's going on with them?
This of all weeks, we need all hands on deck.

WOTS is a lot of former football players have not felt welcome at Michigan and are not fans of Harbaugh

Nothing new. I remember when people got upset about Ty Law not saying Michigan in the intro.

I suspect it's guys goofing around most of the time with only the occasional guy being driven by a grudge against his college.

I don't get the Columbus Ohio. But a guy like Bush is South Florida through and through. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to leave his state and go across the country to Michigan. I have no problem with him paying homage to his High School, and hometown. Everyone knows he went to Michigan and scuffed up the MSU logo.

For what its worth, I thought Devin used to say Michigan before this year (maybe I'm wrong) and when he started saying his high school this year I guessed it was because he was upset over the firing of Don Brown.  Taco saying Columbus, I have no guess, and don't really give a flying fornication.  It is what it is.

This is the answer or how about just beat OSU. Let's keep it ? here, under Harbaugh's regime it's not exactly the most prideful brotherhood era of Michigan football. All the national media does is laugh at us/Harbaugh. And who really knows the culture inside the lockerroom. This year does seem different but before this year it seemed like alot of guys were just playing for themselves. 

Beat State!
