Peppers is a versatile defender best suited for a modern defensive scheme that prioritizes athletic chess pieces and interchangeable parts, like the Fangio-style two-high system.
Immediate starter at strong safety or nickel linebacker, with the ceiling to become a defensive captain and Pro Bowl-caliber playmaker.
A traditional Cover 2 defense where his playmaking ability would be stifled.
A true hybrid player with the speed and physicality to excel in multiple roles, but lacks a true position and requires a creative defensive system leader.
Selected #25 overall in Round 1 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Cleveland Browns out of Michigan.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
