When it comes to rivalries the Ohio State and Michigan football rivalry is unrivaled. Players count the days between games, practice every day for that next clash, and the programs even implement specific drills in the hopes of besting their rival. Ohio State goes as far as blocking out the letter M anywhere it is found on their campus, while Michigan has banned the color red in Schembechler Hall and holds the "Beat Ohio" drill regularly in practice.

Now two of the best players in the last four years from both Michigan and Ohio State have joined forces in the NFL, and they're looking to put that rivalry behind them for the betterment of their new team. Former Buckeye receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michigan lockdown corner Will Johnson have now joined forces in Arizona for the Cardinals.
