Michigan teammates defend Bryce Underwood amid criticism
Named a team captain, Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood is leaning on lessons from Joe Burrow to silence critics.
In the world of college football, few players are under as much scrutiny as Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood. The former top-ranked recruit started as a freshman, but his performance has been inconsistent. Some are already questioning his potential before he even enters his second season. However, within the program, Underwood is viewed very differently.
In fact, he was recently voted team captain by his teammates. Jordan Marshall, the running back and fellow captain, praised Underwood's resilience and work ethic. He acknowledged that Underwood is under a lot of pressure, but also believes that the young quarterback is handling it well. Marshall pointed out that Underwood isn't just ignoring the criticism; he's facing it head-on every day.
Underwood has been working with NFL-caliber coaches and players like Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow, who has helped him learn to stay calm under pressure. With only a few months left until Underwood faces the real tests of the NFL, his teammates and coaches are confident that he will continue to rise to the challenge.
