Daily Brews: Donovan Edwards says he’ll be ‘up there with Walter Payton, Barry Sanders,’ ‘one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game’

There’s no secret the Michigan Wolverines have one of the best backfields in college football heading into 2023. Several national outlets stated this offseason Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards are among the top-10 returning running backs in college football, and for good reason.

In 2022, Michigan had the best offensive line in the country and dominated on the ground with Corum. He was a Heisman candidate before going down with a knee injury late in the year against Illinois. Then, Edwards stepped in without missing a beat. With a broken hand, he made some of the biggest plays of the season against Ohio State and in the Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff.
