When it comes to defensive playmakers, there’s not a more versatile athlete in this entire draft class than Michigan Wolverines star Jabrill Peppers.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh has said that Peppers can play 13 different positions, but all scouts are concerned about is whether or not he’ll be able to specialize in one. Based off of his skill set and size (6’1”, 205 pounds), Peppers could probably translate best as a safety at the next level.

With elite instincts, impressive speed and an aggressive mentality, Peppers is able to make plays all over the field. He may not be the most technically sound player in coverage as a pure safety at the next level, but there’s no denying that Peppers has serious potential to become the next defensive star wherever he goes.
