Jabrill Peppers. 30. player. 55. The Pittsburgh Steelers took a good whuppin’ from the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. But they are not as far off from overcoming the Patriots as the score indicated. For starters, RB Le’Veon Bell was injured and not able to impact the game the way he could have. <p>Bill Belichick and the Patriots will alway look to take you best weapon way and make you use something else. There’s no way you can take away Bell and WR Antonio Brown at the same time. So it’s obvious that the injury had a profound effect on the Steelers offense.</p> <p>Defensively, the team just needs to grow up as there are a lot of young players on that unit. They have spent a lot of high draft picks on the defense and I believe one more is what they need. The Steelers can do much better than Sean Davis at the strong safety position.</p> <p>They haven’t been the same at the position since Troy Polamalu retired so they need a stud there. A do-it-all player like Jabrill Peppers would go in and strengthen the Steel Curtain immediately. He had and off year at Michigan as a linebacker but at strong safety, he’s a star. </p>. S. Michigan
