Back on May 19, I started the countdown with a post about freshman defensive tackle Michael Dwumfour as the #97 most important player on Michigan’s roster. Every day (okay, most days) since then, there has been a profile of every noteworthy Michigan player. It’s a grueling process sometimes, and now that football season has started for me, sometimes I’m working 15 or 16 hour days before coming home to write a post or two. But I do it because it’s fun, so thank you for reading and arguing over the last few months.

Seeing the list in total like this provides a fresh perspective.
Your top 10 has 6 on (primarily) defense and 4 on offense.
The QB is “only” as high as #9, which takes a moment to process.
How in the world you rank people down in 50 to 97 range I can’t fathom. 🙂
Anyway, THANKS! for the effort in this and the great everyday reading on this site!
