For those that are hoping that Michigan football can finally break the trend and beat Ohio State in 2020, the Pro Football Focus list of top returners in the Big Ten may not paint a pretty picture.
Just one Michigan football player made the list and that’s cornerback Ambry Thomas, who will be a senior next season. Last year was his first time as a full-time starter and he’s a quality player, but it shows the Wolverines don’t have the firepower coming back that Ohio State does.
Of course, Justin Fields, the Buckeyes quarterback, was the top player on the list and the Heisman finalist should be.
