Football is back but not in the Great Lakes state. Jim Harbaugh has drove the college football world crazy by taking Team 137 down to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida for spring ball. I’m amazed you haven’t heard about that yet. Anyways, plenty of information and coverage came out from the reporters down in the Sunshine State.
If you were unable to be on social media earlier today or want a nice recap, check out the Tweet-cap:

McCray showed good feel in zone coverage. Broke up a Shane Morris pass attempt when Morris tried to come back over the middle

Impossible to go an entire practice without mentioning jabrill peppers. Looks a tad bigger than last year. Terrific shape. Hand seems fine
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) February 29, 2016
Jabrill Peppers taking some LB reps in 7 on 7
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 29, 2016
Peppers worked a great deal w/ LBs today. If 1 practice is an indicator he’ll play in the box even more this year. Time will tell of course

Jake Butt and Zach Gentry were TEs together with the starters. Smith the RB. Darboh, Perry the WRs
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 29, 2016
Ty Isaac looks like he has slimmed down. Definitely lighter than he was last year at this time

Position Changes
Canteen back practicing at receiver but…..that’s not in stone. Could move back to DB
— angelique (@chengelis) February 29, 2016
Chase Winovich is now listed as a defensive end
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) February 29, 2016
Winovich definitely looks bigger more cut. Always been fast/quick enough in coverage. Physicality in run game was question coming out of hs
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) February 29, 2016
Winovich definitely looks the part of a SAM physically now
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) February 29, 2016
First few Michigan practice observations… canteen back full time at wideout, McCray doesn’t appear limited by shoulder (no pads though)
