"But Denard best watch out when I see him in February when he comes out for the scouting combine. I suggest he lace ‘em up for that one. When he runs at the combine, I’ll be there, and I’ll be breaking six seconds this year. I’m working on my core, I’m mentally prepared and I have my suit already picked out. I’m focused, and I understand Shoelace is fast, but I have straight-ahead speed."

Ben Estes: Don’t apologize for Michigan

BY BEN ESTES

The temptation is strong.
