Michigan's is one of the more interesting prospects in the 2015 . Some teams see him as a big wide receiver, while others think he is more of a tight end who can flex out wide. The former Wolverines star didn't quite meet expectations with his production last season as Michigan sputtered to a 5-7 finish. He made 62 catches for 733 yards and four touchdowns in 2014, but only one of his TDs came after the season opener. However, Funche s revealed Saturday one factor that might have contributed to the limited production. "I had a real bad injury on my toe," Funche s said, . "I wasn't as explosive and it probably wasn't all the way there going into my training. So I couldn't control any of that. I fought Goga Bitadze Jersey through it the whole season a real bad injury. No one knew about it. ... I was fighting through it for the team." Funche s said he is not 100 percent recovered from the injury. "I tore a ligament, cracked some bones off and ripped some cartilage," he said. The 6-foot-4, 232-pounder had a disappointing 40-yard dash (4.70 seconds) at the NFL that had many thinking he would be better suited to play tight end in the NFL. Funche s ran a much better , though, and NFL Media analyst Charles Davis said Friday that he thinks Funche s gave with his pro-day showing. Still, with Funche s indicating he's still not 100 percent recovered from the injury, it could be an i sue that gives some NFL teams pause. It hasn't prevented the from taking a good look at him, though. Reports indicate the team recently worked him out -- even -- and it certainly makes sense that they would show interest, as the could use another pa s-catcher. Funche s is ranked 36th on NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah's list of in this year's draft, so he could be in play for Atlanta in the second round. You can follow Bryan Fischer on Twitter at . T.J.
