Nine weeks of the NFL season have come and gone, and plenty of former Wolverines continue to make their presence felt all throughout the league.
Here is a complete breakdown of how they all performed this past weekend, along with a look at how they are doing on the season as a whole:
• Ben Braden (Played at U-M from 2012-16), OG, New York Jets: Resides on the 3-6 Jets’ practice squad and has not appeared in a game this season.
• Tom Brady (1996-99), QB, New England Patriots: Completed 22 of 35 passes (62.9 percent) for 294 yards with a touchdown and no picks in Sunday night’s 31-17 win over the Packers … Connecting on 67.0 percent of his throws for the 7-2 Patriots, and has accumulated 2,494 passing yards, a 17-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio and two rushing scores … Ranks third in the AFC for passing yards, is tied for third in completion percentage and is tied for fourth in touchdown passes … “Tom Brady is the greatest football player of all time,” ESPN’s Ian O’Connor wrote on Monday. “It didn’t matter that he looked all of 41 years old on some snaps against Green Bay or that converted running back Cordarrelle Patterson might’ve been the most valuable Patriot stationed behind center. Brady completed the pass that sealed the deal, a 55-yard scoring strike to Josh Gordon in the middle of the fourth quarter that secured his team’s sixth straight victory and reintroduced New England as a serious threat to win its sixth Super Bowl title — and its third over the past five years.”
• Jake Butt (2013-16), TE, Denver Broncos: Tore his ACL during a Sept. 25 practice and will miss the remainder of the season … Started the first three contests for 3-6 Denver and tallied eight catches for 85 yards with a long of 22.

• Frank Clark (2011-14), DE, Seattle Seahawks: Continued his torrid pace in Sunday’s 25-17 setback to the Chargers, recording a tackle and a sack … Has started all eight contests for the 4-4 Seahawks and has registered 16 tackles, 7.5 sacks, a pass defended, an interception and three forced fumbles … His 7.5 sacks are tied for the fourth most in the NFC … “I want to make more plays,” Clark said after the defeat, per Bob Condotta and Mike Vorel of The Seattle Times. “One sack is not enough. I want to get two, three, four if I have to, for this team to win. At the end of the day, I know I can do that. I feel like us as a group just have to do better — it’s simple.”

• Graham Glasgow (2011-15), OG, Detroit Lions: Has received the starting nod at center in every game for 3-5 Detroit, including Sunday’s 24-9 defeat to the Vikings … The Lions gave up 10 sacks to Minnesota, and Glasgow was frustrated with the effort afterward. “I’m not happy about it,” he noted. “I’m pretty embarrassed. Today was a bad day for us and a bad day for our team. We need to learn from it and make sure it doesn't happen again.”
