But it's his decision to make. I'm trying to envision where he could/would be drafted as a player with no true position and a bit undersized for every spot on the defense except CB.

They said Bob Sanders wouldn't be successful due to his height too...

Even if Jabrill slips to #10, it's still worth more than $15 million over four years with a lot of it in the signing bonus and three years guaranteed. Why would he risk that kind of money to come back one more year? Harbaugh will tell him he's welcome back, but that he should take the money while it's on the table.

"he's so overrated...and he's just ok at everything and not great at anything...and he only has 1 interception...and ALL the NFL scouts are wrong suggesting he's a first round pick...and he doesn't deserve the attention he gets...and he wouldn't even start at OSU or Bama..."
All I've been reading this week...but I have a feeling winning a bunch of awards and being a 1st round pick won't make these people smarter.
December 7th, 2016 at 8:48 AM ^
not reading where these people post.
December 7th, 2016 at 9:33 AM ^
does need to return for one more year to refine a couple of skills though. Clearly not ready yet.

but I do agree that he does need to bulk up a little if he's going to take a shot a playing defense in the NFL. If he's going to be used primarily as a returner and gunner (very valuable positions) he'll need to stay at his current weight.

does has some pretty funny pieces (the weekly MS Paint and themed power polls are good, imo), but they definitely do have a strong Michigan hate thing going. They have a lot of msu, psu, and msu folks, as well as general Michigan hate. Not sure why - there is no real msu or osu hate, even when msu took a nosedive this year.
I just choose to ignore the self-generated Jabrill/Harbaugh haterism over there and have become a bit more selective in what I read and participate in. Lately, it's been 50/50 for me.

Well done, Paul Hornung award decision making peoples.
December 7th, 2016 at 8:36 AM ^
Well deserved, congrats Mr. Everything!
December 7th, 2016 at 8:39 AM ^
Easy pick. Congrats, Jabrill.
December 7th, 2016 at 12:43 PM ^
can't imagine it was close. Nobody plays close to as many positions...

December 7th, 2016 at 8:44 AM ^
Thanks Jabrill, for making Saturdays fun and exciting. Good luck on Sundays. I know I'll be watching.
December 7th, 2016 at 8:45 AM ^
Yeah, buddy! Well deserved. Tear up the L next year.

About as much of a hassle as this reply was.
Or as much of a hassle as typing a period must have been.

This is proof that sometimes recruiting stars do matter. Recruiting isn't perfect but high star guys tend to become superb players at a much higher rate than other guys. He lived up to the hype every step of the way. What a tremendous talent.
December 7th, 2016 at 9:46 AM ^
"This is proof that sometimes recruiting stars do matter." ?? That's like saying, "Recruiting stars matter. Except when they don't." Congrats to Peppers, an awesome player with great character.
December 7th, 2016 at 10:25 AM ^
are five star players and then there are guys like Peppers and Gary, the cadillacs. Barring injury, these guys are can't miss players. We could use a couple more of them in the years to come.
December 7th, 2016 at 9:06 AM ^
The voters got that one right! Congrats Jabrill!
December 7th, 2016 at 9:07 AM ^
We have unfinished business.
We should start a rally and campaigns.

Yeah, this pick seemed like a no-brainer - I would have been shocked if it had been anyone else actually.
I do agree with others, this clearly means that he's almost there but not NFL there, so do come back, Jabrill to hone these skills just a little bit more.
(I'll miss him too, guys)

I'd actually would like to see him go in the middle(ish) of the 1st round so he doesn't get stuck on a totally terrible team.
