Russell Bellomy - QB - Wolverines

Michigan is still searching for a graduate transfer QB to serve as the team's backup behind junior Devin Gardner.

"Yeah, we are (still looking)," head coach Brady Hoke said. "But, it's one of those things where there's a lot of I's to dot and T's to cross to make sure it's the right fit." Redshirt sophomore Russell Bellomy was supposed to take on backup duties, but he recently suffered a torn ACL. Former Arkansas quarterback Brandon Mitchell is a possibility.

Marvin Robinson - DB - Wolverines

Michigan senior S Marvin Robinson has left the football program.

Robinson only made one start during his career but played a role as a reserve and special teamer in 28 games. He will have one season of eligibility remaining. With the transfer, Michigan's safety picture looks a bit more clear, and senior Thomas Gordan and sophomore Jarrod Wilson will likely claim the starting roles.

Devin Gardner - QB - Wolverines

Michigan junior QB Devin Gardner is working with renowned QB guru George Whitfield during the offseason.

Gardner took over for Denard Robinson after Shoelace suffered a nerve issue in his elbow. He is an exceptional athlete, and Gardner showed that while lining up at receiver, but he has some very natural pocket passer tendencies. Whitfield will sharpen up those rough edges.

Devin Gardner - QB - Wolverines

Michigan beat writer Kyle Meinke believes the school's tendencies in recruiting means they favor size over speed at the WR position.

"All seven receiver commits/signees under Hoke have stood at least 6-2, helping the Wolverines outfit their new pro-style offense with guys who can stretch the field vertically," Meinke writes. Michigan continues to move away from the prospects Rich Rodriguez recruited and more towards the Lloyd Carr era.

Russell Bellomy - QB - Wolverines

Michigan redshirt sophomore QB Russell Bellomy suffered a torn ACL.

"It's unfortunate, especially for a kid who battled through a tough injury last season and was having a really good spring," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. "We'll continue to support Russell and look forward to having him back on the field." Bellomy will recover while Devin Gardner handles the starting duties.

William Campbell - DL - Wolverines

Jets selected Michigan DL William Campbell with the No. 178 overall pick.

Campbell (6-foot-4 5/8, 311) performed 35 bench-press reps of 225 pounds at his Pro Day after getting snubbed for a Combine invite. A former big-time recruit, Campbell was considered a college bust until blossoming as a senior into an all-conference pick in the Big Ten. He's a Red Bryant-type player. The Jets fielded the worst run defense in football last year, so the fit makes sense.

Denard Robinson - QB - Wolverines

Jaguars selected Michigan RB/WR/QB Denard Robinson with the No. 135 overall pick.

A spectacularly versatile athlete, Robinson (5-foot-10 1/2, 199) was introduced as a running back on draft day. He could also play receiver and return kicks in the pros after starting for three seasons as the Wolverines' quarterback. A game-breaking runner with lateral jukes and 4.43 long speed, Robinson rushed 723 times for 4,495 yards (6.22 YPC) and 42 touchdowns at Michigan. He only caught three passes. Robinson is best suited to play running back -- his skills are not all that dissimilar from Chris Johnson's -- but his final NFL position figures to be determined during OTAs.

Denard Robinson - QB - Wolverines

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Bob McGinn reports teams are very concerned about Michigan QB/WR Denard Robinson's nerve issue.

"Some teams v concerned about WR Denard Robinson's elbow/nerve problem they say affects opening/closing of hand. Fate rests on med rechecks," McGinn tweeted. Robinson's position and stock has seemingly been all over the place, with few agreeing on what his true value is. If he has health issues, the questions about his position may be not be all that important when it's all set and done.

Jake Ryan - LB - Wolverines

Michigan sophomore LB Jake Ryan suffered a torn ACL on Tuesday and is out indefinitely.

Ryan was the school's leading tackler in 2012 after seeing snaps at linebacker and weak side defensive end. It is a major blow for the Wolverines, and we wonder if Ryan will attempt to play this season or sit out all of 2013.

William Campbell - DL - Wolverines

Michigan DL William Campbell will have a private workout with the New York Jets.

Campbell could be a fit as a nose tackle for the Jets, as he weighs in at 318 pounds and stands 6'5". SI's Tony Pauline suggests Campbell could potentially do a good job occupying gaps in a 3-4, while NFL.com's Gil Brandt says Campbell "might be a better OL prospect than DL." Campbell was a three-year starter at offensive tackle in high school.

Denard Robinson - QB - Wolverines

National Football Post's Russ Lande writes that teams view Michigan QB/WR Denard Robinson as a slot receiver.

"He not only went through receiver drills, but also was put through running back drills as many teams believe that while his long term future is as a slot receiver, the fastest way for him to get on the field as a rookie will be as a third down back," Lande said in reference Robinson's pro day.

Denard Robinson - QB - Wolverines

Draft insider Tony Pauline writes that it looks like Michigan's Denard Robinson "secured a spot for himself in the draft’s second day."

Pauline continues "to hear a buzz being built around" Robinson, who worked out at receiver, running back, and as a return specialist. The Michigan product certainly didn't look like a second day pick during the Senior Bowl, but switching positions is always a process.

William Campbell - DL - Wolverines

NFL.com's Gil Brandt says the feeling is Michigan DL William Campbell "might be a better OL prospect than DL."

Campbell was a three-year starter at offensive tackle and a two-year starter at defensive tackle in high school, according to Brandt. He is a stout run defender, and showed that strength during his workout, completing 35 reps on the bench press. JR Sweezy is the most recent drafted defensive lineman to make the immediate switch to the offensive line.

Denard Robinson - QB - Wolverines

Michigan's Denard Robinson worked out at RB and as a returner, along with WR, at the school's pro day on Thursday.

Finally. We've been clamoring for Robinson to work out at running back since Michigan's season ended, since he is at his best with the ball in his hands, working patiently behind blockers. NFL.com's Gil Brandt, who previously said he would move Robinson to corner, even admitted that Robinson's best position might be running back.

Denard Robinson - QB - Wolverines

Michigan QB/WR Denard Robinson will be throwing at the school's March 14 pro day.

Robinson will be throwing to show how much his elbow has healed from the nerve damage he suffered more than four months ago. "I'm probably 70, 60 percent right now and it's getting better and better," Robinson said. "Every day I feel like it's getting better. From the Senior Bowl to now it's like night and day. I feel like I can grab things and be able to throw the ball like I want to...it feels better now to grip."
