Brian Mitchell from college qb to nearly every position in the NFL (KR, PR, RB, WR, DB, & QB). Finished his nfl career with most yards gained; only to be eclipsed by Jerry Rice. Think he still holds over 6 - 7 nfl records.

Michigan, we've had a few in recent years:

Hassan haskins - Currently with the Titans. started out at LB, but we were thin/unproductive at RB, and become arguably the best RB at UM in the past 25 years

Mikey Sainristil - started out at WR, then switched to DB/NB because of a glut of WRs that we had for the 2022 season. might be one of the most impactful defenders UM has had this century, and should be drafted in the top 2 rounds

Kalel Mullings - played LB, but blake corum got hurt late in 2022, and Mullings switched to RB the week of the OSU game and threw the ball on a trick play in Columbus. I'm expecting him to big things this year, as he's a more traditional, big 10 powerback with very good speed


Max Bredeson from TE to Fullback. Best college lead blocker I have ever seen.

Nola played short stop his whole career at LSU, and was really good there. Switched to catcher in MLB and think he just recently signed another contract. Worked out well I’d say
