ANN ARBOR -- Don Brown says he's heard from a lot of people this winter.
Coaches, recruits, coaches of recruits -- all claiming they've got something he once had and might soon want again at Michigan.
"Do you know how many calls I've gotten this winter?" Brown, Michigan's defensive coordinator, asks to no one and everyone at the same time. "It's 'I'm the next Jabrill Peppers.'
"'No, you're not.' "
Brown's been firm this offseason that Michigan's defense is going to continue charging forward with the same principles it used to finished tied for No.
