Jabrill Peppers is going to be something
Former Michigan linebacker/safety Jabrill Peppers may be the biggest question mark of this draft. Nobody knows what to expect from him — or even what position he’ll play — but after the combine, we know he’ll be an asset.
Peppers’ 40-time and his 128” broad jump led linebackers. His 35.5” vertical was fourth among linebackers. The craziest part about this all is that Peppers may not be a linebacker. He worked out with defensive backs as well and wasn’t half-bad. To make this all even more interesting, some teams reportedly view Peppers as an offensive player.
I've talked to two NFL teams this week in Indy who view Michigan's Jabrill Peppers as a better offensive player than defensive player, FWIW.

All of this is to say that we may have no idea what Jabrill Peppers will be, but after the combine, we can be sure that it’ll be something special. We’re not sure whether he’s a linebacker, safety or something else entirely. What we know Jabrill Peppers is damn good at the game of football, and that counts for something.
