Denard Robinson tribute 

One of the greatest Michigan players of all time. He stuck through the darkest years in Michigan's history. No matter what, he will always be considered a great Michigan football player, but I will always think of him as a better man. Go Blue!

He kept UM relevant during some tough years. Could use his heart on the 2017 offense.

that NotreDame UofM game was one of the greatest games I have ever seen 28 points in the fourth for the comeback win

While his passing ability was never top notch, he will always be one of my favorite Michigan QBs just because how exciting he is and how amazing his attitude is. I would love to have a conversation with him and tell him thank you for being a true gentlemen of the game.

One of the greatest to ever wear a Michigan uniform. He was so much fun to watch.

I held my breath each time he threw the ball, but the dude was pretty damn good. If he had a defense with him, he could've brought home at least one natty.

God I miss him. He was an incredible athlete. I had almost forgotten how fast this guy was, seriously unreal. Go Blue!

Denard Robinson was omnipotent

i love this channel, you really capture the magnitude of the moment by not adding music.

Imagine having Denard this year with Jabrill Peppers

You can say what you want to about Rich Rod, but if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have Denard...

the nine different dislikes must be Ohio state fans...

Just for what he did to keep our program alive at the lowest point in history should earn everyones respect!!!!!! THANK YOU DENARD

Certainly a legend, even by Michigan standards. Michigan will really miss him next year.

I was there to witness his first play at Michigan. Awesome.

I'm not a Michigan can, but wow I respect this guy so much! one of the best to ever play college football. He will be miss, I hope he had an amazing NFL career. He deserves it!

Can we take a minute to appreciate the team? Roundtree Robinson, Hemingway, etc? Just phenomenal.

As much as I complained about his inconsistency, I'm going to miss him. He was a human highlight machine. Go Blue Denard!

Denard Robinson was the original Lamar Jackson ...people forget Robinson was just as exciting to watch like Reggie Bush too

Damn he was so exciting to watch.

that Michigan - Notre Dame game from 2011 was one of the best college football games I've witnessed. Shoelace was just throwing them up and the receivers were out jumping the d backs. lead changed like 3 times in the last minute and a half.

you could love and hate him but I respect everything he did for the program...great tribute video

Was so amazing and I miss him already. Always will be one of my favorite wolverines

One of the best to ever wear the maize and blue! Loved watching him every week because if he got into the secondary, nobody could catch him, just wish it would have worked out for him in the NFL! A true class act!

He almost went to UCF, could you imagine him against Conference USA defenses? Not to mention it woulda changed the hell out of the college football world

He's gonna end up being the jags starting qb, watch

A shining beacon during a dark age in Michigan football. Although not a traditional Michigan quarterback, what other Michigan quarterback in history could make a contribution to his team with a defunct throwing arm? His attitude and Michigan spirit will truly be missed. Thank you for choosing Michigan Denard.

If it weren’t for this guy Michigan would’ve lost so many more games. Great player with a great head on his shoulders

So many highlights

I still remember that first snap he took. I went from screaming in agony to joy in a matter of seconds.

This man defined my childhood.

Denard was terribly misused by the coaching staff. One of the greatest college runners to ever play.

Wow, mkes me sad seeing this, i loved this kid, he loved the game, the school, and his teamates, his time went by way to quick, and i wished he wouldnt have gotten hurt in his senior year, i wish him the best and thanks for the upload

been a michigan fan my whole life living in ohio has been tough these were the darkest years but god even when they were awful i screamed my lungs out watching him play truly that little light of hope to watch during these days with the program! thank you denard!

His arm wasn’t great - but he had tremendous faith in his receivers. Just throw it up and let them make plays - and they often did. On short yardage plays, he was a sure thing. You couldn’t stop him on 3rd and 2 or less. Always fun to watch - never go pee when we had the ball.

If Robinson would have seriously developed his passing game he could have won multiple Heisman trophies.

@irishfan84 too small??? He will never play RB??? The jags drafted him as a RB and they even lined him up at QB. Ur just bashing about denard because denard tore ur Irish up a new hole.

@irishfan84 shoulda won by 30 eh? Too bad you lost. You're the worst kind of troll. Michigan had the balls to test themselves against Bama by choice and lose. Thanks to the Irish addiction to cupcakes everyone knew last year's championship game before it started. Now go sit in the corner.

We would of beat Ohio St. If he didn't get hurt in the second half. He had 120 yds. Rushing just in the first half. Once he got hurt we lost our running game.

I cried a little.... Good luck, Shoelace! Denard will be missed!

Robinson's arm strength is grossly under rated..

Denard should have threw some passes for his last game as a michigan wolverine

Bush And just us and space x is using my father Harold Smith identification

I'm so happy I got to see 3 years of him in person as a student at Michigan. Such a great player. I hope he finds success in the NFL. He really helped his draft stock against Scar today

Love Denard, wish he hadn't thrown so many interceptions during his time but brilliant rushing quarterback, made for some of the most entertaining games ever.

Salute to this brother right here. Simply amazing. Go Blue

THANK YOU DENARD!! A True MICHIGAN MAN!!!!!

and he'll go undrafted? i doubt it

One of the most exciting players I have ever watched.

Such a fantastic player during a challenging time. He almost single handedly kept us competitive. Hail #16

This guy made me a Michigan fan and I'm proud to say I love the university of Michigan :D

Most exciting in all time!!

Robinson was the most exciting QB In Michigan History and I just loved watching him Play. ND will never and I mean never see another guy like this; Or I think they hope not. 28 seconds to go and good by ND, you lose.... Go Blue...

Thank you Denard for everything you have fine here at UM. Wasn't the greatest QB, but his will to win, work ethic, the person and teammate he was and that he helped put UM football back in the map, and of course his 4.3 speed/ play making ability will be what he is remembered for. What he does in the future whether it is the NFL or not, best of luck. Thank you for everything and you are a true Michigan Man!

I will never ever forget Denard Robinson THE BEST QUARTERBACK TO BEAT! THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES! JUST LIKE TOM BRADY! DENARD ROBINSON IS MY GREATEST QUARTERBACK OF ALL TIME! GOAT GREATEST OF ALL TIME DENARD ROBINSON!

Go BLUE 💪 michigan

Being a young kid in Ann Arbor during his prime years, his impact was amazing. When we played football in the yard people would kick off their shoes when going on runs. People admired him and he made the dark ages something that was fun to watch.

FIRST TEAM ALL AMERICAN Sophomore year ; deserves immediate induction into College Football Hall of Fame.

Denard was amazing!! Ohio state never had a qb with moves like this

We fondly remember all of our quarterbacks who beat Ohio State. But DR was special player who broke several Michigan and Big Ten records at his position.

I'm gonna miss watching him play for michigan

Jesus...Hemingway, Funchess and Roundtree. Denard was amazing but that trio was so dangerous. Oh, and F Hoke.

Man I could watch this all day! We may never see another player like Denard Robinson ever again. He was so exciting to watch! Hope he does well here in jacksonville

Denard was a generational talent. I have always felt that he was used incorrectly. I think Forcier should have been the QB and Denard should have been the Swiss army knife. He could have played every skill position. I just don't think full time QB was the right call.

I could watch this all day, I got to meet Denard in the locker room after my first Michigan Game. I’ve idolized him since I was playing youth sports as an athlete and still to this day as the great human he is. Amazing guy. 〽️ Go Blue!

Denard is the best qb in Michigan history change my mind

You're high. Gardner never showed signs of being a quality QB until this season. He would show flashes occasionally but never consistent enough to be the starter. Denard is a spread QB and proved it in 2010. I think he understood spread concepts better over pro-style concepts and was able to make the spread offense plays easier because it was more in his wheel house. If RichRod would have stayed, Denard would've been great. The defense would have been awful though so take your pick.

Jacksonville ruined him !! Like they do EVERYONE

He wasn’t appreciated enough during his time with Michigan. Unfortunately due to that era with the coaches. We do love you Shoelace, excited to have you back in Michigan.

ME TO BUT IM GONNA LOVE SEEING HIM LIVE AT EVERBANK STADIUM IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA AS A JAGUAR.....Go blue and Jags a dream come true for this pick...

Imagine having Denard any year.

Feels weird. It's just hitting me that I'll never see him in the winged helmet again

I thought his sophomore season, his very first season starting, he had a pretty good arm. He could make just about any throw you'd need him too,it was just the decision making that killed him as a QB. He'd toss up too many jump balls, and once in a while throw an interception that left you pullling your hair out asking yourself, who was that too? Great player though, no doubt about it. We needed a playmaker on this team, and he brought exactly that. In the NFL just let this kid get the ball

He won't be asked to play QB in the NFL. No coach is going to design a playbook around him. He is a running back, plain and simple. His time at UM prepared him for all the staple NFL running plays and he has the ability to play RB immediately. He just needs to improve his pass blocking, which was very poor against SC. I expect some team to draft him in the 3rd round to play RB. In this draft, he is one of the best RBs available.

I don't believe he'll be much of an NFL player, again he's going to have the same issues Tebow had(not the cultural icon stuff) just that some coach is gonna need to incorporate the offense around him(not many coaches have enough balls to do that) McDaniels did with Tebow and it got him canned, when he could not get the other players to buy in, he'll get undrafted but I think he'll be a career backup, a guy that can come in and do some things then hold a clipboard or do some RB, and return.

He was a good college player, again Rich Rodriguez's new style spread offense never ever was a great fit(Michigan and all the Big 10 teams were pretty set in its ways) and it compunded the problem when Rodriguez could not get athletes to come to Michigan and it did not help that Ryan Mallet left for Arkansas. To me, Robinson still got flattened by bigger, stronger guys but he at least peresevered. At least Brady Hoke is there and they will return to a more traditional brand of football.

I remember everyone complaining about his arm. Denard Robinson is in my top 7 favorite Michigan players of all time. If only everyone had his heart.

Denard underthrew a lot of deep passes, but these gotta be the slowest WR's I've ever seen when he does hit them in stride lol.

it's too bad this guy made 2 of michigan's worst coaches keep their jobs for 4 years each. just imagine the potential under Jim harbaugh

Michigan will probably never see a player like this again. One of the most exciting players in the history of the entire game. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they gave a legend patch on that #16 jersey in the next couple years. Go Blue!

His story, as a prospect, is that he cant throw or catch and is to small to play RB. He has a ton of work to do if he wants to be in the NFL. Good athlete, terrible player(when compared to NFL prospects and players).

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see Denard in person -- at one of his better games, no less (2011 vs. nebraska). I wouldn't trade having him as the face of the team, interceptions and all, for anything.

He's not going to be a QB. He is going to be drafted though. Kiper has him as the 11th WR and 86th player overall before this game. After this performance I bet he went up. He'll be drafted in the 3rd, maybe earlier.

He was one of the most exciting players to ever wear the winged helmet.

I always thought they should have called more planned scrambles. Just have the center hike the ball over Denard's head and let him improvise from there.

An exciting player he was,there were a lot great moments he gave Michigan but 2 come to my mind. 1.When he got his first win over OSU. 2The night game vs Notre Dame,he gave it his all that night.

I will miss seeing Denard in the maize and blue.. But most definitely lookin forward to seeing what Gardner will do next year!

Sure would trade. Junior class JJ for this Junior class Denard. His deep ball is wayyy better with less talent at wideout. And his no fear to run, and to lob it up.

Fastest bet I ever won was on Denard in the Air Force game, betting he would score a TD on the next series. He went almost 80 yards and scored on the next play.

That's what I figured he would do, play a bit of RB. Teams that run the ball, who need a change of pace are good bets for him, he's a wildcard in an offense. He'll add another dimension.

Hopefully the lions get them. The lions could really use some boost to its rushing game. Man I'm going to miss all offense this man gives to Michigan. A Michigan man!

i go to the high school he went to and i play football for the team he played for so to see him make it from a small town like mine that just give me hope

If only he could have been a more accurate thrower... Michigan would have been a very very good team, not to say they weren't good but we could have gone places.

On the final TD of the game all of South Carolina's receiver's were on the line of scrimmage. Thus at least one of them should have been ineligible.

Where do you guys think he ranks among the best quarterbacks in Michigan history? I especially want @WolverineHistorians take

He shoulda won the Heisman in 2010, wasnt even a finalist. So criminal.

That's the design of space agate it can use any ID it shows it can make anything it shows under the technology

Hes a great player but not a qb maybe rb or wr but still he will be miss gl to him in the nfl

Steal of the draft, hands down. I pray Miami gets this kid. They pulled the steal of the draft last year in Lamar Miller.

Also some XFL teams should look at him. He is only 7 years out of college. He could be so exciting in that league
