  Even in one of the most productive running backs in the country, Donovan Edwards found a way to stand out last season. The former four-star recruit arrived in Ann Arbor to plenty of fanfare, a standout player at nearby West Bloomfield High School who said all the right things during his commitment. The 6-foot, 202-pound Edwards saw the field early on as a freshman, earning six carries in Michigan's season opener against Western Michigan and turning eight carries into 86 yards and two touchdowns two games later in a blowout win over Northern Illinois.

But as the season progressed, Blake Corum and Hassan Haskins became Michigan's bonafide 1a and 1b options. They earned most of the carries in key spots, combining to rush for more than 2,200 yards and 31 touchdowns - a real bright spot for an emerging offense. In some games, especially early on in the season, Michigan leaned on its rushing attack - led by a physical and experienced offensive line - to carry it to victory. Hassan Haskins, a second-team All-American pick by the American Football Coaches Association, accounted for more than 1,300 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns. Later in the year, however, Edwards flashed his skillset in other, less expected, ways. He was a major fixture of the passing game in a 59-18 win at Maryland last November, catching 10 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown. If there was ever a "prove-it" moment for the young running back, it was on the road in College Park. - Ann Arbor News
