Who is Devin Gardner?

Devin Gardner is an American football quarterback and is currently the starting quarterback for the 2013 Michigan Wolverines football team. He completed his redshirt junior season in 2013. Early in the 2013 season, Gardner was awarded Tom Harmon's Michigan Football Legends jersey, becoming the first Michigan player to wear the number in over 70 years. Through the first seven games of the 2013 season, Gardner has 1,779 passing yards, 660 rushing yards, and 22 touchdowns. On October 19, 2013, Gardner broke John Navarre's Michigan single-game record with 503 passing yards. He also broke Denard Robinson's Michigan single-game record with 584 yards of total offense.

As a high school senior, Gardner was rated as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the United States by Rivals.com and the No. 5 quarterback by ESPNU. He enrolled at the University of Michigan in January 2010 and saw limited action in the 2010 and 2011 seasons. During the first half of the 2012 season, he converted to the wide receiver position, but switched back to quarterback after Denard Robinson sustained an elbow injury.
