veteran Michigan linebacker with steady instincts and special-teams grit
J.B. Fitzgerald’s Michigan profile reads like a classic “trust him to be where he’s supposed to be” linebacker: a four-year letterman, three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection, and a durable contributor who appeared in all 50 career games with three starts. In his career, he topped out at 5 tackles in a game and showed up as a reliable reserve and special-teams piece rather than a splash-play machine. If you value toughness, football IQ, and assignment-sound play over highlight-reel chaos, he fits the mold.
