Jake Butt returns, several former Wolverines shine in NFL Preseason Week 1

Jake Butt probably lost hundred of thousands of dollars the moment his ACL snapped in the 2016 Orange Bowl.

Projected by many as a first or second-round NFL draft pick in 2017, the injury saw him stumble to the Denver Broncos in the fifth round. After a year of recovery, he’s finally back, as he said in May that he feels “the strongest I’ve ever been.”

He hit the field for the Broncos 42-28 loss against the Minnesota Vikings in both teams’ first NFL preseason action Saturday night at Mile High.
