The 2022 Big Ten Football Media Days event provided the opportunity for media to interview several members of the Michigan State football program. The day began with head coach Mel Tucker’s televised press conference. Coach Tucker then got to spend an hour speaking more in depth at his podium session.
In addition, three of the Spartans’ key players for the 2022 season also traveled to Indianapolis for the event, and each also got to spend an hour talking to the media during their own podium sessions. Redshirt junior and starting quarterback Payton Thorne, redshirt senior wide receiver Jayden Reed and fifth-year senior safety Xavier Henderson gave their thoughts about fighting complacency, areas of improvement in 2022 and some new names to watch out for this fall.
