Best Athlete on 2010 Michigan Football Team?
RR is starting to acquire some tremendous athletes on his football team. Who is the best athlete on the 2010 squad. IMHO
1. Shawn Conway
1A Denard
2. Dorsey
3. Furman
4. Pitchfork (I kiid) Woolfolk
Who replace Ohenne as the worst? somebody has to be the worst and it's all relative anyway. I don't know enough to speculate on this one.

Mike Martin only wrestled in high school so he eat faces in the off-season too.

Courtney Avery has to be up there. Great quarterback in HS, will play corner for us, plus he was a terrific basketball player.
Or how bout Kelvin Grady?

I've got no idea who the best athlete is, I've never been to a Michigan practice. I just hope the best athlete has a solid grasp of the system and can get his ability on the field instead of wowing everyone in Spring practice.
Denard Robinson is a great example, he's a great athlete, but wasn't ready to play QB at Michigan last year mentally. Hopefully, a full year in the system gets him ready and he can be a viable backup/push for the starting slot at QB this year.

I tend to agree that it's probably Denard, on account of his speed and obviously muscular build.
After that, it's tough because the definition of athleticism can be quite broad. I imagine Mike Martin ranks pretty high.
Also, Kelvin Grady plays two big time sports ... but he isn't that great at either. Should have a better feel for him in a year or two.

I agree on his point, but who's to really know without being at practice and seeing everyone vice the guys who play.
I'd vote for Denard, Molk, or V Smith based on what I've seen.

Can't believe nobody has DG yet. Thats who im going with. IMO Gardner is an athletic freak. Size,speed,agility,strong arm. Kid could probably play at least 3 different positions and have a big impact at each one.
February 20th, 2010 at 11:19 PM ^
In fairness to everyone else, DG really is just your run of the mill Vince Young clone and VY was never known for his athleticism. Young's strength was his laser, rocket arm and time spent in the film room.

If a n00b can pull of sarcasm effectively without being annoying that earns a +1 in my book.

I'm sorry if I'm missing something. But why is a lowly recruit that just committed today #1 on your list. He won't even be on the team in 2010.

I was just screwing around. Conway wasn't on my original list, but when people were bitching about his lack of hype, I decided to make him #1 on my list.
