Players were allowed to speak to reporters after practice and spent much of it talking up the freshmen:

Both De'Veon Smith and Drake Johnson both mentioned Chris Evans as sticking out.

Drake Johnson, who is roomies with Evans, says he's "mad athletic" and smooth. Makes them say "wow."

Evans is going to play, folks.

Ty Isaac mentioned Eddie McDoom and Nate Johnson. McDoom can "fly"

Magnuson says 'everything is advanced' with Rashan Gary. Says only Peppers impressed him more as a frosh.

De'Veon says he's beyond impressed by Rashan Gary: 'But I'm not about to lose to a teenager (in pass pro)'

I, for one, am ready to see Chris Evans do Chris Evans things.

Man, just awesome to hear how impressive Evans is. After walker committed it felt like Evans was overlooked and put on the back burner so to speak. Hope he tears it up in actual play and not just in practice

"Welcome to the Big House! The Wolverines will start at their own 25-yard line after the touchback to open the game. They come out in a heavy set: 7 OL, 2 TE, 1 FB, and Jabrill Peppers taking the snap."
