Anthony Carter
Though standing at 5 feet and 11 inches in stature, Carter was huge part of Bo Schembeckler's offense from 1979 to 1982. Carter was used primarily for speed routes and on kick-off and punt returns. As a freshman 7 of his first 17 receptions were touchdowns and now the Michigan offense who had always been run first had a lethal threat on the outside. Carter, is more known for his catch and run 45 yard touchdown as time expired against against Indiana, is considered one of the greatest plays in Michigan football history. The three time 1st Team All-American left Michigan with 8 return, receiving, and scoring records as well as finishing 4th in the Heisman voting his senior season. Most of his Michigan records have been surpassed as of late from Braylon Edwards and return man Steve Breaston. In my opinion, Carter was the one who started the long line of great Michigan play makers.

Do you think that Manningham is the next great Michigan reciever? Is he good enough to don the prized #1 jersey? Is he going to be more Braylon Edwards or David Terrell?- Pitbull
this is a very good question marc. manningham like carter, is small is size but has great hands and speed. i really can't see him sticking around next year with him having 6 consecutive games with 100 yards and losing most of the offense to graduation. it is easy for me to say that he'll be more like edwards than terrell, but edwards was special in college while i think that terrell got most of his stats being part of a good offensive scheme.
