Michigan football: Donovan Peoples-Jones' breakout game shows growth

Donovan Peoples-Jones caught his first career touchdown last week against Western Michigan. In Saturday’s 45-20 win over SMU, the sophomore caught another. A second in the third quarter. And one more in the fourth.

This is what the evolution of a young receiver looks like.

Four catches for 90 yards and three touchdowns, the same number of touchdowns Michigan’s wideouts caught all of last season.

“I got a lot of teammates that make my job easy,” Peoples-Jones said from Michigan Stadium. “The line did a great job. Shea’s out here delivering beautiful balls that make it very catchable, very easy to catch the ball on the run.
