veteran Michigan corner with proven tackling production and big-game experience
J.T. Floyd was a seasoned Michigan cornerback whose value came from reliability, physical tackling, and experience in high-leverage roles rather than flashy ball production; his career totals include 117 solo tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and 3 interceptions, while Michigan’s roster notes highlight career highs of 13 tackles in a game and 10 solo stops against Michigan State in 2010. He stood out as a steady, technically sound defender who could be trusted in the run game and in coverage, but his 2011 season ended early with an ankle injury, which is important context when evaluating his durability and fit for a team that needs a tough, experienced CB.[1][2][3][4]
