It was somewhat of a quiet weekend for former Michigan Wolverines football players in the NFL, though a few unlikely contributors made headlines. Jacksonville Jaguars safety Jarrod Wilson, for example, posted a season-high nine tackles in a 27-3 loss to the Steelers, while Pittsburgh tight end Zach Gentry earned his first start of the year in the same game.
Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jon Runyan also received by far the most action he'd ever seen (83 percent of his team's offensive snaps) in a 34-31 overtime loss at Indianapolis.
The complete list of Wolverines in the NFL and how they fared this past weekend is below:
