As Michigan embarks on what could be an unexpectedly special season, they got a little inspiration from one of their most famous alumni.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who played at Michigan from 1996-99 before being drafted in the sixth round by the Patriots in 2000, stopped by Schembechler Hall to chat with the team Thursday. Brady was in town because the Patriots are playing Detroit in the evening.
Brady also took some time to visit with current Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner. Gardner commented on Twitter about a photo of the two rocking Michigan jerseys in the Michigan locker room. Michigan fans are probably hoping some of Brady’s magic rubs on their starter.

We here at Doc Saturday think Gardner could be one of the great surprises of the 2013 season. With a year of starting under his belt and no threat of Denard Robinson, Gardner could make the Wolverines a serious contender in the Big Ten. However, November’s going to be a really tough month.
