Watch Ron Bellamy discuss Michigan football's revamped offense in new video
DETROIT -- The Wolverines are hoping that the offensive changes they made this offseason will be enough, combined with a dominant defense, to get Michigan football back into the College Football Playoff. From bringing in former No. 1 overall 2025 recruit in former five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood, to getting a couple of transfer receivers in Donaven McCulley and Anthony Simpson, to getting running back Justice Haynes to transfer from Alabama, the new-look maize and blue should be better offensively than last year.
On Sunday at the SoundMind SoundBody football showcase camp, Michigan wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy met with the media to discuss the state of the offense. WolverinesWire was on-hand for the final seven (of 11) minutes of his impromptu availability, where he delved into multiple topics.
From Underwood's leadership as a true freshman to recruiting the state of Michigan, Bellamy covered a number of topics.

Key quotes
On how Bryce Underwood compares to other former Michigan QBs
"I don't know. He's unique. He's unique You know, big kid, strong arm, accurate, super cerebral, super smart kid.
"I don't know. We've had a lot of great quarterbacks at Michigan. I don't think it's fair to Bryce to say who's comparable to him now because he hasn't taken a snap yet, you know, but obviously there's a lot of great things that he's done thus far, in the short term. You can see it. You can definitely see it. But like I say, I'm most impressed with his leadership and the way he comes out there ready to go every day. For a young kid, that's pretty impressive. I
"He doesn't get rattled. He's always working. And you love that as a coach because the quarterback usually leads the team and guys follow. You can see that following now with some of the guys, not just guys in his class, but some of the older guys too, that Bryce has done a good job with."
On Semaj Morgan in Chip Lindsey's offense and his work to become more explosive
"Yeah, you guys have seen Semaj. He's an explosive athlete. Older, understanding the game, and slowing down for him. And he's just doing a lot of great things. Semaj had a really good spring and just keep chasing that greatness.
"He had a really good spring. He had a really good spring, and I'm excited to kind of see where summer goes for him. And then obviously, camp, we'll go to camp in August. But yeah, Semaj, he's stronger, more explosive. I'm excited for him."
Michigan will partake in summer conditioning in June and July with fall camp set to take place in August.
