Michigan football held its second bowl game practice in Tampa, Florida on Saturday and it had some special guests in attendance.
Not only was current Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles (also the father of new Michigan signee, linebacker Troy Bowles) in attendance, but so was former Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden.
In the 15 minutes that WolverinesWire was able to see of practice No. 2, Gruden stood near where the quarterbacks were working out, going through their drills. While we don’t know how long Gruden stayed watching the team, we do now know his reaction to seeing Bryce Underwood for the first time.
It will certainly excite Michigan fans to hear what he had to say, as simple of a reaction as he had.We can concur, having seen him both at Belleville as well as in limited viewing at Michigan practice the past two days.

Underwood won’t be able to participate in the ReliaQuest Bowl, but he certainly will be in the mix to potentially start in his first year in the program come the fall.
