Michigan's 2016 Defense Could Be One of College Football's Best Ever

Speaking to reporters following one of the final practices of Michigan's spring, Jourdan Lewis wasn't shy about sharing the expectations he has for the Wolverines defense in 2016.

"Be the No. 1. The undisputed No. 1," the All-American corner said. "Our secondary was the No. 1 secondary in the country [in 2015] and that's what I'm looking for: Our unit being the best, winning some of those awards and getting a national championship. That's where my mindset is and all of our mindset is."

Why stop there?

Between its returning talent, an innovative defensive coordinator and a ready-to-play recruiting class, Lewis' lofty goals for the Michigan defense certainly appear attainable.
