Michigan’s high-upside, injury-tested mismatch machine
In the 2016 season, Jake Butt was a first-team All-American tight end for Michigan, finishing with 46 catches for 546 yards and 4 touchdowns, and his game was built on reliable hands, route savvy, and red-zone value[1][3]. At 6-6 and 250 pounds, he was the kind of TE who could win as a receiver and still bring real toughness, but his career context is shaped by injuries that limited his availability and makes durability the biggest question for any team[1][8].
