Commentary: Henne follows in the line of other great Michigan quarterbacks: Tom Brady, Drew Henson, Todd Collins, Brian Griese, Elvis Grbac, Jim Harbaugh, John Navarre, Rick Leach, Dennis Franklin, Steve Smith, John Wangler, Don Moorehead, Bob Timberlake, Pete Elliott, Harry Newman, Benny Friedman, Forest Evashevski, etc.

Rick Leach, Steve Smith, Brian Griese, John Wangler, Bob Timberlake, Todd Collins, Harry Newman, Pete Elliott and Drew Henson were great quarterbacks at Michigan; however, none were elected Captain. Of course, prior to 1970, there was only one captain chosen; since 1970, we've had as many as four chosen in a single season.

Don Moorehead, Dennis Franklin, Jim Harbaugh, Elvis Grbac, Tom Brady, Forest Evashevski, Benny Friedman and John Navarre were all elected Captains by their teammates.
