commitment profile Film Evaluation Strengths Canteen's height is good for a slot receiver, since many players at that position tend to be on the shorter side. At 6-2, he is a big target over the middle for Michigan's quarterbacks. He should have an easier time finding holes in the zone. Canteen is an exceptional route runner, especially for a player who has limited varsity experience due to his team's shortened 2012 season. He gets in and out of his breaks cleanly and loses very little speed on his cuts. Lastly — and most important at the wide receiver position — he catches everything. That's the way to a quarterback's heart for a receiver, and Canteen's hands should give him lots of opportunity to catch passes. Areas Of Improvement: Weighing in at only 170 pounds, Canteen is rail-thin. It's likely that he will have to redshirt, since he has to add at least 20 pounds before he contributes. He risks injury until that muscle mass is built up, and he will also have a hard time making an impact in the blocking game. Like teammate Brandon Watson, Canteen is light on experience at the varsity level. This fall should give him the opportunity to get more comfortable in an offensive scheme. Michigan Player Comparison: Roy Roundtree (2008-12) was a huge factor from the slot receiver position in Michigan's spread offense, but his production died down when U-M went to a pro-style attack and he moved to the outside. Since Canteen will have enough depth around him to remain at slot his entire career, he can have a Roundtree-like career without the late fade statistically. — Analysis from TheWolverine.com Michigan StadiuM Michigan StadiuM Michigan StadiuM Item #1353: Michigan Stadium Aerial Panoramic Print Unframed print — $30 ea. + $12 S&H • Standard framed print — $89 ea. + $16 S&H Deluxe framed print — $199 ea. + FREE SHIPPING Item #1353: Michigan Stadium Aerial Panoramic Print Item #1353: Michigan • Standard framed Unframed print — $30 ea. + $12 S&H Stadium Aerial Panoramic Print 1-800-421-7751framed print — $199 ea. + FREE print — $89 ea. + $16 S&H Unframed print —Deluxe • $12 S&H • Standard framed print — $89 ea. + $16 S&H $30 ea. + www.thewolverineondemand.com SHIPPING
