In a moment of clarity while describing the role of the Viper in Michigan’s defense, Jim Harbaugh summed up the position in a quick sound byte.
He raised his right hand and made a sound that apparently vipers make. He then curled two fingers and motioned them forward in an aggressive manner. The movement and sound effect drew laughs while Harbaugh spoke to reporters at Big Ten media days.
“It's a great, great position our team. It's an important position on our team and it's got a great name too — Viper,” Harbaugh said before hissing and motioning.
