Denard Robinson, “Shoelace” to Michigan fans enamored watching him quarterback the Wolverines during his playing career, is returning to Michigan in an off-field role on the football staff.
Michigan is set to hire Robinson as assistant director of player personnel, two sources told The Detroit News on Wednesday, confirming a report from Ant Wright of On3.com.
Robinson, a college scouting assistant with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year, will work with Tom Gamble, Michigan’s newly hired director of player personnel who was the Jaguars’ senior personnel executive last year.
