Erick All is known for catching everything thrown his way in practice, so after the Michigan sophomore tight end dropped a sure touchdown in the third quarter at Minnesota in the season opener, he was overjoyed his number was called again the next play.
This time, All made the catch and went 27 yards to the Gophers’ 3-yard line. Two plays later, quarterback Joe Milton scored en route to the 49-24 victory last Saturday night.
“I was way too excited,” All said Monday, explaining the dropped pass. “I feel like the coaches knew that and they gave me the second opportunity, because, man, if it weren't for that second play, I probably would have never been able to redeem myself and probably would have been in my head.
