Michigan football players shine in the NFL during Week 2 play

Week 2 in the NFL has come and gone but there were some nice performances from former Michgian standouts.

The highlight of Sunday belonged to the No. 2 pick of the 2022 NFL draft — Aidan Hutchinson. After a quiet showing in Week 1 for the Lions, Hutchinson showed everyone why he was a top selection. The former Michigan star not only recorded the first sack of his career, but he had three of them in the game. Hutchinson was a menace for Carson Wentz and Washington, just like he was in Ann Arbor for the Wolverines.

Three other Wolverines had really solid performances this past weekend. Tom Brady lead Tampa Bay over the Saints, Rashan Gary recorded another sack in a win against the Bears on Sunday night football, and after a slow start in Week 1, Nico Collins led the Texans in catches on Sunday.

Here is who stood out in the NFL in Week 2.
