Junior Colson was coached by Jim Harbaugh for all three of his years at the University of Michigan. Well, Colson will be in familiar territory in the NFL.

During the call, Harbaugh let out his "Who's got it better than us?" which became a Michigan rallying cry en route to their national championship.
