I've been pleasantly surprised by how highly rated Michel's pass protection was and how quickly he seems to be doing well at it given all his missed preseason time. The couple pundits I like most graded him as the #2 pass protecting guy (after Saquan because Saquan can do no wrong).
There are also whispers the Patriots think he can be a good pass catching back, but I saw little evidence of that at Georgia or in his incredibly small 5 target sample size. I'm glad he had a really good running game - Boston talk radoi idiots were trying to call him a bust after 2 games when it seemed pretty obvious the O line was giving him nothing to work with.
