I still thinks he's coming back for his degree and improve on his newer viper position....oh and beat osu! GoBlue!
December 5th, 2016 at 7:58 PM ^
but I would bet that making NFL money is his primary objective. Declares for draft soon.
December 5th, 2016 at 7:30 PM ^
Don't think he deserves it, but it is going to fun to watch the haters for the next week. LOL
December 5th, 2016 at 7:58 PM ^
He was invited to NY. Who "deseves" to be invited to NY in his place?
December 5th, 2016 at 8:20 PM ^
He had a great year and I don't have a problem him being invited. I think there are other worthy players who could also be there as well though like Jonathan Allen, Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Adoree Jackson, Christian Wilkins, or Derek Barnett. I personally would pick a different finalist, but I can see why he would be selected to go to NYC.

Honestly, I would invite Jourdan Lewis over Peppers if we're talking about the most impactful player on Michigan.
December 6th, 2016 at 12:33 PM ^
I would not have selected Peppers to be a finalist, but I have no problem with him being there.
IMO, Lamar Jackson, Dalvin Cook, Dede Westbrook, and Jonathan Allen should be in NYC. Not totally sure on the 5th. I wouldn't have selected Deshaun Watson or Baker Mayfield.
December 5th, 2016 at 7:30 PM ^
Peppers is on the list because of his athletic ability and versatility playing many different positions. But playing many different positions might also hurt his Heisman stock because they usually give the award to guys with gaudy stats. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. My bet is Jackson or Watson get the award.

...one more year, and return a punt for a touchdown against Ohio St...

Our last finalist to actually be invited to New York? I'll give you a hint, it's NOT Hart

Chris Perry in 2003

Denard finished 6th in 2010, and they only had 3 finalists that year (Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, and LaMichael James)

Hopefully we see his 2pt return vs sharty every 10 seconds during the broadcast.

Great player, deserves the trip, but we can all acknowledge he isn't going to win. At least the program gets the exposure, and it'll be nice to see Harbaugh and company in New York talking about things we like to hear about. A reason to watch the ceremony again is always nice!
December 5th, 2016 at 7:54 PM ^
December 5th, 2016 at 8:01 PM ^
An elite LB or S he's not. Hopefully some smart coach in the NFL will find him a natural position that he can excel at... If not, he'll be relegated to kick/punt return duties like many other elite athletes before him.
December 5th, 2016 at 8:34 PM ^
He is an elite tackler. That translates to the NFL, especially when a guy can haul ass to an open WR or RB in the flat and put them down with no extra yardage. Top 10 in the draft. GMs salivate at a known commodity.
December 5th, 2016 at 8:03 PM ^
December 5th, 2016 at 8:05 PM ^
Would have been a big disappointment to me if he was not invited. Does Harbaugh go with him? Would have to be a fast trip for Coach with all the visitors we have next weekend.

This topic on 11 Warriors is laughable. Bunch of underinformed teens on that site.
If someone doesn't understand the contributions of JP, then they shouldn't call themselves football fans.
Hearty congrats to Peppers and we will miss you next year.
Best of Luck going forward.
Peppers is going to get paid.
Enjoy.

Good luck to him, but I don't have any idea what it means to be a Heisman candidate. I'd argue Lewis, Charlton, Glasgow, Wormley, hell even Darboh were as important to this team as Peppers was. I get he's the big name and is a dynamic player, but I just don't know what the criteria is anymore.

He was absolutely an important part of the team, but I could argue that each of those other players had just as much an impact. Glasgow had 9.5 TFLs, 4 sacks, 1 forced fumble, a PBU, and was a huge part of the dominant rush defense. Charlton led the team in sacks despite missing a handful of games and was practically unblockable the last month of the season. Lewis had a couple nice returns and absolutely shut down half the field. Wormley destroyed tight ends and was another part of the dominant front line. Peppers is great, and his value is measured more than by stats, but game-to-game there are a lot of players who were valuable to this team's success.
