Legends Patch Nominees: Francis, Albert, and Alvin Wistert

Since Desmond Howard became the first Michigan player to receive a Legends Patch, there has been much debate surrounding which players deserve the award as well.  In an effort to settle some of the debate, we will be breaking down a former Michigan football player that we believe should be analyzed as a nominee for a Legends Patch.  This does not mean our writers believe they should be formally nominated in some way, but only that their credentials should be reviewed. If you have an opinion please comment or contact our writers via Twitter.

Nominee: Francis, Albert, and Alvin Wistert
Francis - "First of three Wistert brothers to earn All-American tackle honors at Michigan. With Chuck Bernard, he was one of chief reasons why 1933 Wolverine lines wore impregnable. Earned three baseball letters and was the Big Ten's most valuable in that sport in 1934. He also played professional baseball for Cincinnati and assisted on the Wolverine grid staff before entering the practice of law where he attained an outstanding position in industrial relations. Named to National Football Foundation Hall of Fame." - Bentley Historical Library
