2012 Positional Breakdown: Defensive Back

Michigan Defensive Backs were arguable the most improved players from 2010 to 2011. They were the biggest part of the Wolverines huge turn around through that time, and it was hard to not be impressed with the progress the Defensive Backs showed last season.

Now we are about to begin the second season with Brady Hoke and Greg Mattison heading up the defense that was the statistically most improved unit last year, while basically using the same personnel that embarrassed the program a year earlier. Defensive Backs will once again have a huge influence on how this defense fairs against a relatively tougher schedule.

J.T. Floyd
J.T. Floyd is entering his final season as a Wolverine, and it's needless to say he has experienced a lot during his time in Ann Arbor. Redshirting during his Freshman year of 2008, Floyd did not see playing time until the next season, where he played in 9 games. It was obvious he had a lot of potential to his game; it was just a matter of when he would pop out of his shell and become an impact player. Well, that time has come.
