By now, everyone has seen highlights of Donovan Peoples-Jones from Michigan’s victory over SMU. Against the Mustangs, the wide receiver easily had the best game of his young career, hauling in four balls for 90 yards and three touchdowns, the latter two being career-highs. On a day where the offense looked more sluggish than it should have, at least one star came to play.
On Saturday, Peoples-Jones showed why recruiting rankings placed him as the best receiver in the country. He was elusive with the ball in his hands, ran excellent routes downfield and was tough to guard in the end zone.
