Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Larry Foote

Larry Foote (#17)
Larry Foote - who seemed on the verge of retirement - is now starting at inside linebacker for the Arizona Cardinals, and he's doing a pretty good job there. In their 25-14 win over the New York Giants, he had 8 tackles, 1 interception, and 1 pass breakup. That's his second straight game with 8 tackles and a pass breakup, and he added the pick this week. That's a great start to the 2014 season. In that same game, teammate Kenny Demens made 2 tackles on special teams and forced a fumble.

Honorable mention: Carolina Panther wide receiver Jason Avant caught 5 passes for 54 yards and a touchdown in a 24-7 win over the Detroit Lions. Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Leon Hall made 6 tackles, 1 interception, and 2 pass breakups in a 24-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Oakland Raiders defensive back Charles Woodson made 8 tackles, but they lost to the Houston Texans, 30-14.

  1. Awesome write up as usual. Just one adjustment. Jason Avant now plays for the Carolina Panthers.

  2. I thought Foote should have won your award last week instead of Henne - I guess he felt the need to play hard again this week so he could take home this TTB honor.

    Will you be posting the complete rundown of NFL players (Harris, Henne, Brady, Denard, etc.) or just doing the player of the week award?

    1. Former Wolverines are clamoring for the honor... It comes with a lifetime supply of pictures of good looking women.

      Unfortunately, I don't really have the time for a complete rundown of NFL Wolverine players. By Wednesday/Thursday, I'm working on the upcoming weekend's game preview, which is why Thursday is usually a light day of posting.
