WIDE RECEIVERS WIDE RECEIVERS had a helluva spring. He's fun to watch. He's hard to cover, and he's pretty electric." Others, like redshirt sophomore Jake Mc- Curry and senior Nate Schoenle, who both came in as walk-ons, can add some depth. But if Michigan's receiving crew is to be all it can be — and certainly if it aspires to be the best group in the country — the top trio has to stay healthy and produce. "You're three years in," former Michigan All-American Jon Jansen said of the group. "You've got the experience. You've had the time in the weight room. What you were as a high school senior, you can hit your eraser and completely scratch that out. You're a completely different individual by the time you're a junior. "Donovan Peoples-Jones, for two years, has been the go-to wide receiver. Last year it was DPJ and Nico. We keep anticipating Tarik Black is going to be a part of that mix, and he will be in 2019. "Nico Collins is 6-4. Throw the ball up and let him go get it. He now has the con- fidence to go do it, because we saw him do it in big games. He had the first big play of the year against Notre Dame last year. He continued to have those plays throughout the season." Gattis wants to see it for himself. There's plenty of time to talk about how good they are later. ❑ THE WOLVERINE 2019 FOOTBALL PREVIEW ■ 71 Junior Donovan Peoples-Jones was a third-team All-Big Ten selection last year by the coaches at wide receiver.
