Jim Harbaugh is one of the most famous quarterback to ever play for the Michigan Wolverines, but on Saturday afternoon, he wasn't even the most famous signal-caller on his own field. NFL superstar Tom Brady returned "home" to Ann Arbor to serve as an honorary captain for his alma mater prior to the game against Colorado, and before the Patriots quarterback performed his assigned duty, he joined Harbaugh in playing catch on the field.

The good folks at the Big Ten Network captured the throwing session between Harbaugh and Brady, and they even provided an alternate angle for good measure.
Just a couple 〽️ legends warming up.

For the most part, Brady doesn't have a ton of opportunities to return to Ann Arbor during football season, but because he is serving a four-game NFL suspension, the window was wide open for this on-field partnership. Michigan fans understandably placed a great deal of focus on this game of catch, but with Harbaugh actually serving as the superior college quarterback (sorry, Tom), Brady was playing in a true "road game" in a friendly atmosphere.
Jim Harbaugh and Tom Brady in the same place is enough to make any "Michigan Man" excited, and it was as majestic as you might expect.
