07:19 AM ET 08.11 | Michigan running back Carlos Brown is drawing attention at quarterback. Asked about his opportunity, he was hesitant. "I'm a running back, so that's all I'll say," Brown said, before saying a bit more. "I was a quarterback in high school. I don't do it a lot. I just flash back there and feel comfortable when I'm back there." His ability to run contrasts the style of primary quarterbacks Steven Threet and Justin Feagin. But, as Brown said, he is a running back. And that's the position he'll probably be most important, competing with Brandon Minor for lead-back status now that Brown has recovered after missing most of the spring with a finger injury. According to both players, there also have been moments in practice where both were in the backfield, so expecting one to have a Mike Hart-level of carries is unlikely.
