MICHIGAN IN THE PROS should also return, entering the last season of a four-year, $12 million deal he signed in 2011 and creating some competition for the job. Former U-M quarterback Denard Robinson, meanwhile, hopes to make a bigger impact for the Jaguars next season. His one pass attempt last year was an incompletion, and he only ran the ball 20 times for 66 yards and failed to catch a pass in his rookie year. He had four kickoff returns for 88 yards with a long of 27. "I think this year has been really good for him," head coach Gus Brad- ley said. "He asked me during the season, 'How do I need to get better, what do I need to do?' "Part of it is just he needs experi- ence. He went out there and got some experience and it really came to light. He needs to be more consistent in how he handles the ball, more con- sistent in his protections. My hope is that this has been a good process for him, and he makes big strides. He's such a competitor; I know he's going after it." ❏ Chad Henne started 13 of the 15 games he played in last year for the Jaguars, completing 305 of 503 passes for 3,241 yards with 13 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
