The Big Ten Network released the All-Big Ten Defensive team on Monday night (LINK). Several Michigan players were honored, including Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year Jabrill Peppers. As exciting as Peppers was, I probably would have voted for Penn State freshman running back Saquon Barkley (1,007 rushing yards, 6.1 yards/carry, 7 touchdowns), who was running behind a patchwork offensive line with an ineffective passing game. But you can’t go too wrong with a guy like Peppers, who played well in all three phases of the game (72 yards and 2 TDs rushing, 8 catches for 79 yards, 27.9 yards/kick return, 45 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 10 pass breakups).
Hit the jump for the coaches and media teams.

I think Royce Jenkins-Stone is a stretch in the honorable mention group. Joe Bolden probably is, too. Otherwise, I would say these teams are pretty accurate from Michigan’s perspective.
