Sam McGuffie: the Michigan football team's silent starBy Dan Feldman
Daily Sports Editor
“UM's Sam McGuffie flexible, reliable” — Detroit Free Press
“McGuffie has plenty to say on field” — The Ann Arbor News
“Wolverines’ McGuffie graces YouTube — again” — Toledo Blade
Each of those headlines appeared in the last three weeks, but freshman running back Sam McGuffie doesn’t like his fame one bit.
“I hate articles about me,” McGuffie said. “I don’t know why. I feel like in my head, I’m just like, ‘No.’ But that’s OK.
“It’s just one more thing to me where people can be like, ‘Oh.’ They think they know me better and stuff if they read about me instead of talking to me.”
The self-described “shy guy” spoke matter-of-factly and didn’t sound like he was complaining.
“I guess I just want to try to be me,” McGuffie said. “If people don’t like it, I don’t know what to tell them. Sit and talk to me, I guess. Give me a chance.”
