The following season, Blades not only helped the Hurricanes win the national championship, but he also was selected first-team All-American by the Associated Press, Kodak, United Press International, The Sporting News, The Walter Camp Foundation and the Football Writers Association of America. The same year, Blades also won the Jim Thorpe Award, honoring the nation's premier defensive back in College Football.

During his play at UM, he and the defensive secondary he led were nicknamed "Bennie and the Jets," for their speed, power, ability & stand-out defensive play. After being picked third overall by the Detroit Lions in 1988, Blades played 10 NFL seasons and finished his professional career with 14 interceptions and one touchdown. In 2006, Blades was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
