Head coach Sherrone Moore talked about the running back depth and who is emerging behind Donovan Edwards.
Michigan lost one of the best to ever play the running back position in Ann Arbor after Blake Corum enjoyed a terrific four-year career with the Wolverines. He was one of the most reliable rushers. Corum left Michigan as the single-season and career record-holder for rushing touchdowns. Not easy to replace a player of that magnitude.
However, the Wolverines have plenty more in the stable than just Edwards. Converted linebacker Kalel Mullings led the three Michigan running backs last season in yards per carry. In the 36 carries Mullings saw, he averaged a whopping 6.17 yards. He's a physical ball carrier who refuses to go down on first contact -- or the second. During Big Ten Media Days, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore was asked about the running back depth and he had high praise for Mullings.
"The guy that's not talked about enough is Kalel Mullings," said Moore. "He's going to be a force, he looks as good as he ever has. He's going to have a great year. Watch him last year, every time he came in he had an explosive play, a big play, runs over somebody, makes somebody miss. It's hard to take the ball out of Blake Corum's hands. For us, we've got a stable of guys.
