Michiganfootball got a boost with the return of Donovan Peoples-Jones. Not just on offense, but on special teams, too.

The junior, the starting punt returner the past two seasons, returned 25 punts for 250 yards and one touchdown in 2018. The year before, he had 40 returns for 320 yards and a touchdown.

However, he missed the first two games this season because of an injury and was limited at Wisconsin.
