• I am sure Jack Miller sees this as a time where he is presented a crossroad after being on a very exciting but tax- ing and grueling road for four years (if you count Michigan football only, but really high level high school football can be part of that road too). On the point of the crossroads, one road goes for the rest of his life and he inevitably has to take that road. It will be different, it will have a different type of demand, it will involve possibly a family, perhaps a business but certainly work in some form. The other road is one year, has a lot more physically demanding ter- rain, and it is a road he has taken for four years already so he is familiar with the demands and toll it will take. It also leads back to the road aforementioned. Not an easy decision. Certainly great points can be made for either decision. It comes down to the man, what he sees before him, as well as what he sees inside. I'm sure Jack struggled with it for a long time, but taking it for face value it shows a lot of maturity and in my opinion is an example of what is occur- ring more and more in football. As a high level football player, it is such an incredibly taxing endeavor to take on, if there is not an end goal that lights up your soul, makes you jump FROM OUR READERS From Our Website Readers on TheWolverine.com understood it was not an easy decision for center Jack Miller to opt not to return for a fifth season.
