Under Jim Harbaugh, the Michigan Wolverines have developed very few elite wide receivers. Yes, Ronnie Bell was a massive success story going from a two-star recruit to a third-round draft pick, but it feels like right around this time every year we are discussing the wide receiver room in this way.
With Bell gone, J.J. McCarthy will be looking for a new favorite receiver and as of now, his options for elite talent seem limited. Optimists will say it is a by-product of the Michigan scheme, but there are several skeptics as the Wolverines move to a closer to 50-50 run-pass system with their stud quarterback.
