Michigan's Bryce Underwood puts in offseason work with Joe Burrow
"Bryce, he's got a great work ethic. There's no worry about him putting in the time," Michigan coach Kyle Whittingham said on The Blueprint podcast.
It appears Bryce Underwood has begun his offseason training and is doing so with some big names. The Michigan football quarterback posted a story to his Instagram on Tuesday, May 5, that was shared from QB coach and guru Jordan Palmer. In the image, star Cincinnati Bengals coach Joe Burrow is on a field in the middle of throwing a pass, while Underwood stands in the background and watches.
Underwood is set to enter a critical second year in Ann Arbor under a new coach, Kyle Whittingham, after Year 1 didn't go as planned. Underwood, who has worked under Quarterback University coach Donovan Dooley for the past decade based out of Detroit, also added Palmer to his offseason mix earlier this year. Michigan QB Bryce Underwood, back in California, just shared a photo to his Instagram story of him putting in work alongside Bengals star QB Joe Burrow.
