Physical freak...production wasn't there after the 1st half vs App State this year. I hope he has success, I think it might take him a year or 2 to become an NFL starter. Best of luck Devin!

He seemed to have tons of potential, but the production on the field wasn't there.  Too many drops and he seemed to not get very open much.  Also, his blocking could have been much better.  The question is whether this was due to lack of ability or lack of effort.  I've been firmly in the lack of effort camp for a while.  So, was that because he's not a hard worker or was just tired of the lousy offense and packed it in?  Whatever it was, he's going to have to convince the NFL people that he can be a productive player in the League before they invest a high draft pick on him.  But, I hope he does very well and makes Michigan proud. 

I see Alshon Jeffery potential - think about Jeffery's last year in college with no QB, gained weight, slipped to the 2nd round.

Of course Jeffery's hands have been ridiculous at times in the NFL - so we'll see.

Good luck to him.  Doesn't make much sense for him to stick around.  He'll probably surprise some people, especially if he can show he can stretch the field again.

See him mre like Mike Williams than Mike Evans at this point, unfortunately.  Hope he proves me wrong.

This is why you shouldn't compare Funchess to Mike Evans:

Funchess can't block

I wish him well in the NFL or wherever his future takes him. Frankly, though, I just can't see him as a first round pick given his body of work at Michigan... even with a fabulous combine. You still need to be able to prove you can catch the ball consistently against reasonably good competition.

It was unfortunate to not be able see his full potential this season, but I know a team is going to get a real talented player. There was some things that would be good for him to work on one more year, but I understand his decision. Good Luck Funchess.

sad....good luck sir.  

...and wish he was sticking around for another year. 

the lousy team he played on robbed him of some luster.

Taking the GRIII route. Could use an extra year of polishing up those skills but their minds are in the league. It's best for all parties to part ways when that's the case.

Good luck Funchess!

Funchess is not a 1st rounder. Not with his questionable hands and effort. The crappy QB play can only account for so much. The INT vs Minny where he alligator-armed it was truly appalling.   

He doesn't run great routes, has decent-but-not great speed,  questionable hands, is a nondescript blocker, and does not give great effort.  Much of this can be fixed, but the effort part is a serious problem. 

I see him as a mid-round guy who could with emotional maturation and coaching become an All Pro someday. But I doubt it. The kid lacks what Jeremy Gallon had in spades. It's unfortunate Funchess has the talent that Gallon deserves. What a waste.

Mid-late 2nd round, IMO.  NFL guys are going to notice his obvious lack of effort this year and the drops.  I wish him luck in his professional career.

Say what you want negative or positive, but the genie is out of the bottle. Any head coaching change is a crap shoot. 

Mr. Funchess - thanks for your efforts on behalf of the Michigan football program. I, for one, am sorry to see you leave early. Best of luck in your career. 

He doesn't run sharp routes, he doesn't get much separation, he drops easy passes, and he doesn't block. His physical tools will get him drafted but if he doesn't put in some serious work he'll be a huge bust.

Has mouths to feed.  Farmington Hills must have really gone downhill since I left.
