Michigan football has been taking part in spring practice for over a week and here are some of the things we have learned so far about the Wolverines. 

Among college football powers, Michigan football is one of the first teams to take part in spring practices and it’s been an exciting start.

Jim Harbaugh met with the media last week and shed light on the Michigan football roster, as well as a number of position battles and other things.

Michigan doesn’t allow open practices, except in limited settings. The program does put out videos and things that allow us to pick up bits and pieces, plus program insiders are able to glean some information too.

The biggest thing in the spring is the actual spring game, which will be a football game similar to last year for Michigan football. We’ll learn a lot that day.

For now, here are five things we have learned so far this spring about Michigan football.

This Michigan football team is loaded

Just an overarching observation is that this feels like Jim Harbaugh’s most complete team. There are about 10 players leaving that will be playing in the NFL next season but Michigan football has pretty good replacements for just about all of them.

Last year, the Wolverines had to replace Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo and actually ranked higher in terms of their total defense.

Looking up and down the depth chart, there isn’t a real weakness. You could point to the No. 2 cornerback job but as we move the second thing we have learned this spring, is that’s not going to be an issue.

The Wolverines are loaded and that’s all there is to it.
