"All slates are clean. I have to prove to them that I can play," Michel said. "But most importantly I want to prove to myself and the UMass nation that I can play. If I do that, everything else will take care of itself." The year off gave him a new appreciation for playing football. "I missed it," he said. "You're always going to miss something you love. Being back is amazing."
