Jim Harbaugh brings up a player or coach/staffer after every practice for what he calls “Wise Words.” It’s basically a platform to speak to the entire team to deliver a message whether it’s serious or motivating.
Walk-on RB Danny Hughes had his turn to speak on Monday. He played high school ball with Peyton Thorne and Jayden Reed and you can imagine that was the topic he discussed.
Keep in mind, Hughes has a mild to moderate stutter.
Needless to say, the contents of the speech really fired up the team after practice today. And, to top it all off, Hughes didn’t stutter once in what I’m sure was a pretty nervy situation.
Just something cool I figured I’d pass on. If Michigan wins, I’ll tell you all the synopsis of the speech.
