Final cuts

Reon Dawson and Jaron Dukes.

They are arguably the last non-contributing names left.  This time it isn't the happy-ending, graduation, fifth-year scenario.

It was real obvious these guys weren't going to see the field in year four, five, or ten.  So now they are "medically retiring."

There is this tradition that, if you are the type of player Michigan recruits, and if you stick around for three or four years and get bigger and stronger, you can be a useful addition to the team.  You may even be a valuable contributor and then, for some reason, you may think you are NFL material.

Maybe this is just the term to use if the player needs to stick around because he hasn't graduated.  If they're going to stay they probably won't blast Jim Harbaugh, like Andre Pipkins did.  So that works too.

Reon and Jaron are really the last of the deadweight.  Sorry, there aren't many pictures of them.
