50. Peppers is one of the most versatile players in college football, lining up anywhere from linebacker to cornerback. But he will enter the NFL as a safety, where every one of his skills will be used. And he’s a four-down player as the returns punts and kicks to add even more value. <p>Having played linebacker, he obviously physical so playing in the box won’t be a problem at all. He’s also exceptional in coverage and this writer means in any type of coverage on any position. He is very effective in press-coverage receivers and tight ends, rerouting and disrupting routes.</p> <p>He also has the speed and agility to play off and the instincts read routes while in zone coverage. That’s a do-it-all safety that will give you the ball back in good field position in the return game too. Detroit Lions HC Jim Caldwell knows exactly what to do with a player like Peppers.</p> <p>When he was the assistant HC with the Colts, HC Tony Dungy had a guy buy the name of Bob Sanders. He would come right in and make the Lions defense a much better unit than it is now. And the Lions would definitely be in business for the NFC North division title in 2017.</p>. S. Michigan. Jabrill Peppers. 27. player
