The most important Michigan football players
According to TheWolverine.com....

that show up every practice to be on the practice squad with only the love of Michigan football as motivation and the hope of getting in the game in the 4th quarter of the Bowling Green game.
Kinda tough for me to believe Craig Roh is already the 5th most important player on the team. I like how much weight he has added, and I hope he works on flexibility over the Summer to become more agile on his pass rushes.
It's also tough for me to believe Will Campbell is down at #20. If Big Will can play lower and really clog up the middle, Obi and Jonas could each have big years.
You have to look at PT last year though. Roh - Tons. Big Will - Less. I'm not saying that Big Will is less awesome, I'm just saying he's less proven.
I thought Campbell would be higher, too. I'm guessing if this list is revisited at midseason or so, he'll be top 10.
#1 most important is DG
I. Think. Not.
I think special teams is flying under the radar. We need Gibbons or someone else to kick well. We weren't great in the red zone last year; we can't miss easy field goals. We need Hagerup to be as Zoltan-like as he can. Hopefully Stonum can be huge on kickoffs and whoever receives punts holds onto the damn ball. I think a lot of games this year could be close (UConn, ND, MSU) so special teams will be huge.
