Davis Warren didn't give up when he was diagnosed with cancer.
He certainly wasn't going to when he was benched earlier this season.

"Who's the guy next to Zak Zinter?!"
That was a question we got a few times when we posted the picture from the National Championship game in the top left corner.... the answer?!
Remember JD Johnson? He was a QB commit to Jim Harbaugh & the Wolverines in the class of 2020. JD received an agonizing diagnosis prior to his arrival on campus - a rare heart condition known as "Coarctation of the Aorta”
"I was told that I did not meet the clearance standard to continue playing a contact sport for fear that my aorta could rupture," Johnson wrote, "or that not enough blood would get to my brain causing an on field stroke."
JD's playing days were over... but his Michigan football story did not end there
"Coach Harbaugh called after receiving the news of my test results. Unsure and scared to what the conversation was going to be, Coach, without hesitation, said that my scholarship would be honored and offered me a position to join the Wolverine staff and help anyway I can. I am witness to Coach Harbaugh’s character and integrity in a situation where he has every reason to tell me, 'Good luck with your future.' He means what he says, and stands behind his commitments, when he could have taken the easy way out. He demonstrated a high level of loyalty to a player that will never throw a touchdown pass for him."
JD has been a part of the staff since, often being seen with the quarterbacks... He is a 3 time Big Ten Champion, a National Champion, & as of today, a University of Michigan graduate 🎓
Congrats to you JD! Forever, a Michigan Man 〽💙 #GoBlue
