Peppers taking reps on offense, knows playbook
Mods delete if this is common knowledge. I received a text from a current player saying, "He (Peppers) was taking reps at slot during player led practice, knew all the plays. He wouldn't know all the plays unless he was told to do so... So take that however you want".
This was exciting for me to hear, gave me a whole Woodson vibe. Again, if this is already known and i'm late to the party please don't harass me too much and mods delete.
Hopefully he and Adoree Jackson trade some Heismans the next few years. Almost had both these guys in our backfield together.

USC’s do-everything Adoree Jackson is only a sophomore, but this will be the most important year of his college career.
Jackson wants to win the Heisman Trophy. He wants to win the Thorpe Award, which goes to the nation’s top defensive back. But he could also win those as a junior. What makes this year unique for Jackson is that he also wants to win an Olympic gold medal.
“Actually, I don’t think it will be hard for me (to win),” Jackson said. “I play offense, defense and special teams. Charles Woodson did it when he was at Michigan (and won the award in 1997). That’s how my mindset was set up when I came in to USC.”
With USC sometimes running a Wildcat formation, Jackson is even willing to play quarterback.

Peppers will heat things up.
-I'll see myself out.
Yes he certainly cayenne.
-Leaves with you.
Strongly approve. Hope he does play on O. Even just by practicing there, a side benefit may be an increased understanding of his position on D since to some extent he'll be attacking that same position on O.

was a great RB in HS. He played LB on defense and that's where he showed a quick knack for getting to the ball and laying kids out. He is a great athlete...never played Safety until he arrived in AA. I just don't want his only contribution to this Program to be his first snap, the blocked punt, it was electric and I thought with this burst, the beginning of something special. I just wonder with our lack of playmakers, particularly last year, why he wasn't ever considered an offensive option...
Yeah, I mean, I know what you're saying. I just think the coaches last year really were that bad at identifying and developing talent on their own roster. It doesn't seem like that'd be possible - and yet here we are.
I'm going to be unpleasantly surprised if there isn't at least one player this year who has a breakout season after languishing out of position or atrophying for lack of coaching under the previous regime.
4 TD in one game? You want him to transfer to Polk High or something?
Would have been nice to have Countess at Nickel and Peppers at WR.
Anyway, on obvious passing downs, we just got a legit deep threat!
Interesting to see if Cole is our slot guy starting immediately. Peppers spells Cole - keep one on the field at all times for short screens, reverses etc.... and always have a guy on the field who can instantly take it to the house.
And if they were both on the field at the same time it would be the most athletic combination of WR's Michigan had ever fielded at one time, right after Anthony Carter and (*insert anyone on the entire roster regardless of position*).

All great recievers, and quite possibly better receivers than Cole and/or Peppers will ever be. But i am talking just from a pure athletic standpoint. Many of the Michigan receivers you named werent as athletic as these 2.
I am from the Saginaw area, and have seen some unbelieveable athletes come through in both basketball and football. Let me just say i do not know if i can put any of them above Cole from an athletic standpoint. Only saw him 'live' twice as he was suspended for most of the year, but damn the kid is unbelievable.

Yes. As far as height and straight line speed, Charles Rogers was elite. There was some good competition in football and track here at that time between he and Stuart Schwiegert if you remember him (Saginaw High vs. Saginaw Heritage).

Awesome news. He is too good to not play a lot.
If I were a top athlete I'd want to play for a coach that considers playing players both ways.
Would help with recruiting.
I'm going to enjoy the next two years with Peppers. I trust Harbaugh to develop him into his full potential. I look forward to watching Jabrill have many years of success in the NFL.
