I wouldn't mind seeing him as a full time RB. Then maybe they would be able to run the ball

Good luck to Jabril, it was the right choice for him to go pro but I can't help but feel unsatisfied with how his career here went.

Don't get me wrong, Peppers is an incredible talent. He made exceptional plays and added many dimensions to play on both sides of the ball.
Still, I for one think he was a bit of a distraction to the team and coaching staff. How many ways can we use him? Too many in my opinion.
After the first few games, have predicable was our offense when he can in to run the shotgun? Very predictable!
How many bowl games to he contribute to? Zero.
I would have gladly welcomed him back but think that with Peppers off the table our coaches will be forced to deal with the talent they have on their side of the ball.

So your assessment is that coaches shouldn't use their best players to try and win football games. That is a rock solid platform right there.

Thanks for choosing Michigan and for giving us everything you had while you were here!. Don't be a stranger!

Honor watching him play in the maize and blue

Clearly a good player and will be missed. And all season I kept waiting for him to break through somehow. How many times we heard, "He's going to run punts back this year."
A great, exceptional athlete with what I would categorize as a very good college career. Too many injuries and never able to break into that legendary level of a Woodson or Howard or Harmon, though, at least in my opinion.
Next man up!

The brightest lights in michigan football the past 10 years. Here's hoping Harbaugh brings in many many more.

what type of RB he would have been. We saw the explosion and vision and reports outofpractice were that he was clearly the best RB on the team had he played the position.
I imagine he would have developed into a Reggie Bush type player if used purely on offense.

Right decision. Good luck wherever he ends up.

Fare thee well and Godspeed Mr. Peppers.
