Good reminder that for as much success as he's had on the field, that he's seen some serious shit.

That bit about his mom's sacrifices...made it somewhat dusty in here. I'm not crying. YOU'RE crying!

because if not, we've got a holy war in our future.   maybe there should be a 'pope off', where the two papal entities duke it out for the avatar and name, kind of like the players complete for a number.  

who is going to ref the pope-off, and what are the rules?

Very excited for his next steps. A total class act; whatever NFL team is smart enough to draft him is going to get a very special player.

Love the fact that his hero is his mom.

And what he has been through, and what he has accomplished.  Can't wait to see him on the sidelines exhorting the Wolverines in2, 5, 10, 20 years.  Proud Wolverine forever.

How do you root against this kid? I don't care what your fandom is, the things he's overcome to get to the position he is in today make him down right inspiring. Every interview I see with him makes me admire the guy even more. Hope he tears it up in the league and goes into the HoF on the first ballot.

If you are Bob Quinn and both Taco and Jabrill are available with the 21st pick which one do you take?  Which one fits better or is a bigger need?  Personally I think with the tracjectory of the league Peppers might be more impactful on the next level.  Seems to me that there are a lot of elite edge rushers in the league: Clowney, Watt, Miller, Irvin, Jones, Ansah, Williams, Clark, Griffin, Atkins and on and on.  Seems to be less safety/hybrid elite players: Honey Badger, Earl, Pat P, and Sherman.  Therefore, although I would love to have Taco as well, Jabrill Peppers type players don't grow on trees and I think I would give Pep that Honolulu #5 as fast as we can get to the podium.  Odds are Taco will be off the board anyhow, and some mock's have Pep gone as well.  Excited for the draft.

Are showing 3, 4, or 5 safeties getting picked before Jabrill (I exagerate, but not much).  In fact, it's pretty comical to see just about an entire defensive backfield of Ohio State players selected before the most dominant defensive playmaker Michigan has had since Charles Woodson.

However, I'm loving it.  He just drifts farther down to where my Steelers could make a play for him.  Another Troy Polamalu anchoring the defense would sure look nice.

I think a team will surprise and draft jabrill top 10. I get apposing fans, but NFL GMs have to be smart enough to understand his INTs did not come due to playing at the LOS. I would take him #2 behind Garret.
