Junior Colson Gives A Ringing Endorsement For Playing At Michigan

Junior Colson's story is incredible and it's about to get even better as the NFL Draft approaches.

Former Michigan linebacker Junior Colson has one of the most amazing stories in college football. As a youngster born in Haiti, Colson survived the earthquake that claimed more than 200,000 lives in 2010. He was then adopted by Steve and Melainee Colson and brought to Tennessee where he thrived and developed into a four-star prospect. He ultimately committed to Michigan and is now an early entrant into the NFL Draft. 

Now, he's taking part in the biggest job interview of his life. Unfortunately, he finished the season so banged up that he won't be participating in on-field drills while in Indianapolis. However, he is meeting with teams and discussing his abilities, as well as his story, which should make him memorable and draftable on so many levels. Colson took the podium on Wednesday afternoon and discussed his Haitian background, abilities as a middle linebacker, desire to one day sport the "green dot" in the NFL and absolutely gushed when talking about his three years in Ann Arbor. If you're not a fan of Junior Colson, you will be after watching the video above.
