If You Could Add 1 Former Player To This Years Football Team Who Would It Be And Why?
Was reading r/cfb and discovered an interesting thread. If it was up to me, I would add Jake Long. That would instantly take our O-Line from a C+ one to a B+/A- one. Speight would have more time in the pocket and we could rely on at least one person to get push vs elite defensive lines. What say you Mgoblog?

How would Harbaugh coaching his younger self work out? Wouldn't it break the space time continuum?
Are you suggesting that Harbaugh is somehow subject to laws of spacetime continuity like the rest of us chumps?
Come on, man.
Jumbo Elliott
But I haven't yet. I have commitment issues.
Solely for another PSU night game poster.
May be he'll get the chance to do that to Hackenberg this year.
That is who I would choose too. Michigan has missed a good running back like him for too long.
What could have been
I'm going to go with a dark horse:
Devin Gardner.
I really wonder what he could have been with a consistent role (no WR switch) and minimal coaching turnover (how many OCs did the guy have?).
He's the biggest what-if since I've started following Michigan football.
I understand that QB isn't our biggest need, and this isn't a shot at Speight or any others in the stable, but all of my choices would have to do with unfinished business: Henson, 4th year of Jabrill, etc.
I nominate Devin Gardner for governor of Michugan.
Jim Harbaugh. Just to see Harbaugh coached by Coach Harbaugh.
If only for the ultimate in META threads after a game, this might very well be the correct answer to the OP's question. I can only imagine the presser if - for some reason - Harbaugh does some things that Coach Harbaugh is not terribly fond of seeing.
Woodson obviously but I would really love to watch Woodley rushing the qb for us again.
Considering you werent specific and never said that their skills would return to how they were at Michigan its pretty much a no brainer: Tom Fucking Brady in current form in College=National Championship
As for what you meant:
1. Charles Woodson (No Brainer) Even though O Line is weak Woodson affects every aspect of the team
2. Jake Long- O line sucks so this could arguably be the best choice
3. Jabrill Peppers- Another year of Jabrill and he would have been insanely good
4. Tyrone Wheatley- I just want a singular stud running back again instead of this rotational crap
5. Jim Harbaugh- Two Harbaughs on one team....Nuff said
Tom Harmon. The man survived two plane crashes and was awarded a purple heart and silver star. It would have killed a lesser man
1) Long
2) Brady
3) Woodson
4) Braylon Edwards
5) Mike Hart
I'm trying to go outside the obvious answers, because they've been pretty well-covered. So I'm gonna say Brandon Graham. Graham, Gary, and Hurst as the first team D-Line...I'm into it.
I'd take any of:
Anthony Carter, Tshimanga Biakabutuka, Charles Woodson, Jake Long or LaMarr Woodley. Any of them would take our team to another level.
