Is Bryce Underwood the Best Player In Michigan History?

Bryce Underwood says he feels like he is the best player ever to come out of Michigan. Is that confidence, or is that going too far?

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss Underwood’s comments, whether he meant the best player from the state of Michigan or the best player from the University of Michigan, and how he compares to names like Charles Woodson, Andre Rison, Tyrone Wheatley, Antonio Gates, Jerome Bettis, Chad Henne, J.J. McCarthy, and others.

They also look at Underwood’s freshman season, his development, Michigan’s quarterback history, and what he still has to prove before claims like that can be taken seriously.
