The 1st athlete in the MGoUsers Poll is...
Charles Woodson
Woodson played for Michigan from 1995 to 1997. In 1995, Woodson was selected as the Big Ten freshman of the Year. He was named to the All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches, and second-team All-Big Ten by the media. He led the team with five interceptions and eight takeaways.
In 1996, Woodson set a Wolverine record for pass breakups with 15. For his efforts, he was named the Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year and an AP First Team All-American. He was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe award and named to All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches and the media.
In his junior season in 1997, Woodson became the third Michigan player to win the Heisman. He was the first and is still the only primarily defensive player to win the prestigious award. Woodson is the last player to win the Heisman Trophy that is not a running back or quarterback. Woodson led the Michigan Wolverines to an undefeated season and a National Championship in the same year. He won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the best defensive college player. He was named to the All-Big Ten First-Team for the third year and was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American. It was his second year winning the Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year award and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Woodson won the Jim Thorpe Award, an award which he was nominated for the previous year.
Woodson finished his college career with 18 interceptions and 30 passes defended.
Woodson was drafted 4th overall in the 1998 NFL Draft by the Oakland raiders.

Its been fun guys... I've made a few memories, made a few freinds (I'm looking at you mGrowOld), upset a few people (I'm looking at you, pretty much everyone else) but overall it was a great experience. Something I would do again? maybe not. But i've definitely learned a lot about a few Michigan players and I cannot wait for Michigan to play tomorrow. Lets have a great season and I'll be talking to you all again at some point on these boards.
Go Blue.

One of the saner threads on MGo these past few weeks. Even if you are a scary-ass evil clown!

Woodson is a freak good number one choice

The survey yielded some ... curious results, but hard to argue with Woodson as the GOAT.
Well done on the survey presentation!

It would be tough to decide between Magic Johnson and all of their Heisman Trophy winners.

That punt return against OSU in '97 is my personal highlight of his career.
Dude next to me called it right before the kick.
Awesome.

Notable omission: Barry Larkin.
Is the raw data available?
September 2nd, 2016 at 10:56 PM ^
have a Barry Larkin without a Bill Freehan. Simply doesn't wash.

Of course everyone will have different order of 25 favorites or athletic or Most Valuable Sports Alumni. You can't get three people to name the same top five athletes in UM history. Having said that I would like to get in on a top 25 vote again. It's a good idea just thankless...
