Summary

Taking a break from the ongoing discussion about the Michigan basketball team's search for a new head coach, we take a look at the Michigan football team, breaking down Michigan's 10 best players following spring practices and heading into the 2019 offseason. Combining what players have done as well as what their potential is in 2019, we dissect impact players who could carry the Wolverines this fall.

First, we take a look at 5-10 names of players who just missed the cut due to a lack of experience, lack of prominent role or other factors. and dissect which players have the most potential to prove us wrong with their play on the field this fall. Then, we look at some of the players at the beginning of the list, how far they have come and what could be in store for them this season.

The middle of our list includes several soon-to-be third-year starters, and we look at how important step forwards for them this season could be toward exceeding expectations. Finally, we reveal our picks for the best players on the team, discussing why we view them so highly and what expectations there are for them this fall. We also look at some trends on the list, and what that means for the Wolverines.
