## Resource

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. 00:31 — Intro 00:40 — Tom’s goal for the show 01:03 — Bryce Underwood’s big quote 03:20 — Did he mean Michigan high school football or the University of Michigan? 05:01 — Comparing Underwood to Michigan legends and freshman quarterbacks 07:37 — Bryce Underwood vs. Chad Henne as freshmen 10:22 — Terrelle Pryor comparison and freshman QB development 11:41 — J.J.
