THE WOLVERINE 2019 FOOTBALL PREVIEW ■ 25
"You
mean
long-haired,
surfboard,
California-kid
Tommy?"
"When
you
first
meet
a
freshman,
nobody
ever
thinks
this
kid
is
going
to
lead
us
to
a
Big
Ten
championship
or
he's
going
to
be
the
greatest
quarterback
of
all
time
in
the
NFL."
"Tom
would
always
come
in
and
say,
'Hey,
Big
Jonny,
which
ring
is
your
best
ring?'
I'd
say,
'Tommy,
you
know
which
ring
is
the
best
ring.
The
best
ring
is
going
to
be
the
next
ring.'
Tommy
loved
that.
He
used
that
all
the
time."
"Some
of
the
things
he
learned
here
at
Michigan
helped
him
be-
come
the
leader
he
is
today.
You
ask
any
Patriot,
and
they'll
say,
'He's
the
first
one
in
the
building
in
the
morning
and
he's
the
last
one
to
leave
at
night.'
That's
the
type
of
leadership
he
was
able
to
develop
here
at
Michigan."
"He
looks
back
on
it
and
says,
'This
made
me
who
I
am,
and
I'm
happy
for
it.'"
