So I've seen this guy on the sidelines a few times on TV wearing a headset, and I've thought "Wait a minute, why isn't Devin in uniform?" After seeing him on TV this past week with Devin obviously suited up, I decided to do some research, and shore 'nuff, Devin Gardner has a full-fledged doppleganger. His name is Roy Manning and he's listed on MGoBlue as an offensive graduate assistant coach. He played at UM from 2000-2004 and spent a few years in the NFL as a linebacker. See for yourselves:
sorry not that simlar
What about this guy?
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...
Wait...
When did Gardner grown his hair out?

Hmmm???
Two eyes... a nose... a mouth... two ears.. Yep. Spittin' image!
Umm....
Different nose, different ears, different eyes, different skin tone... they are both black and have the same general shape of the head, but this isn't that close. Maybe they are both 6' 4ish and so they looks similar from a distance? I will give your gameday experience the benefit of the doubt, so I will avoid passing judgment on this one.

I know what you are saying
But these pictures don't show it..
I don't know how the pictures
I don't know how the pictures show up to you, but on my screen they're huge. In the original post, they appear much smaller and at a higher resolution. And you're right, these pictures don't totally show it, but there are literally no close-up shots of Devin smiling and no close-up shots of Roy looking pissed.
Also, just to show that I'm not just a racist white man, I was watching the ND game with a minority friend, and they showed a shot of Roy, and we both looked at each other and said, "Why isn't Devin in uniform?"
Also, don't judge me for my looks.
might want to just quit

You don't have to be racist
You don't have to be racist to think all black people look alike, it certainly helps, but is not entirely necessary.

No offense, but...
Worst. Look-alike. Ever.

I'll say it again - Devin Gardner's Doppelganger is John Amos
That's a much better call

Bring back Keith Jackson
THIS
Is an excellent call...and makes me crave a McDowell's cheese burger for some reason...weird
Now that is more like it...
Now that is more like it... Devin Gadner in 40 years and a few extra pounds. Like looking into a Time-Machine-Mirror.
Except he'll have on 3 Big 10 Championship rings and a National Championship ring in that mirror

that's not even a vague resemblance
You're just embarrassing yourself.
I hope you never give an eyewitness ID in a criminal investigation, cause some poor innocent schmuck is going to jail.
As Markus and others have already pointed out, John Amos is the lookalike.
Don
Am I correct in assuming that you're an attorney? Your reaction was my first thought as well.
I'm a 2L taking Evidence right now and this made me facepalm and understand why an eyewitness identifications are regarded with such skepticism.

They are clearly different. If Manning wants to suit up one more time and play linebacker just for kicks, that's cool though.

In the OP's defense, the graduate assistant coach does look very similar to Devin during the game footage. He isn't the only person who wondered why Devin wasn't in uniform during the games. However, the pictures the OP provided as evidence are not very similar at all. Maybe someone could grab a screenshot from the game footage, it would likely be more compelling.
If Someone Goes This Far...
.....just to defend the original post, I will have to scream.
