Peoples-Jones feature
Last year DPJ's stats didn't look like what you might expect from 5 star recruit, but a lot of it wasn't his fault. It felt like every other game he was open for a deep ball that went 10 yards past him. One of my favorite scenes of this year (so far) is his TD against Michigan State, both his breaking away from the defender and Paul Bunyan pose in the end zone.
Anyway, I'm glad that he didn't get discouraged and that it's paying off. The most eye-catching (if not totally surprising) stat in the article below is that DPJ has 7 touchdown catches for the year whereas the receiving corps as a whole only had 3 last year.

I saw the same thing and came to make the same comment. Now my high spirits from reading a UM-Nova recap was artificially dampened.

That Paul Bunyan pose was classic. Have to admit I didn’t know what he was doing when he did it until I saw a thread here. Classic by an amazing player. So athletic!

Can’t wait for his OSU TD celebration, maybe troll LeBron from 2016

DPJ definitely brings it every game. Might not show up in the box score but he brings it no matter what

Someone did a nice front page or diary post last year showing the impact of freshmen WR and trying to extrapolate what we could expect of Black, DPJ and Collins. Does anyone remember it or have a link? I almost want to say it was a Mathlete feature.

You may be thinking of THIS.

DPJ is killing it with TD's. I personally would like to see him catching the ball out of slants more and getting 100+ yard games but they are winning so what do I know. I do believe Ambry is better at kick off and punt returns and I'm wondering when they are gonna turn him loose?????
YES!!!! The Paul Bunyan Pose was probably the highlight of the season. It will go down as one of the best in Michigan history, like the Desmond Howard Heisman pose or the Charles Woodson pics with the roses in his mouth. CLASSIC!!!!!

DPJ = playmaker. Impacts every game as the defense has to account for him. Really excited to watch the rest of his career at Michigan and beyond. Seems like a great young man too.

DPJ has been overwhelming.

I see what you did there, and I liked it.

I read the title as "Peoples Jones transfer" and I almost flipped a shit

DPJ, Collins, Martin, Gentry, Black ..... this TE/receiving corps is gonna be good for a long while.
