Jabrill Peppers' jack-of-all-trades role tougher than it looks

Jabrill Peppers' mind moves a mile a minute.

Maybe faster on a good day.

He can't afford for it not to. Not when the Michigan's do-everything linebacker/safety has taken at least 10 snaps as a defensive back, linebacker, quarterback, running back and wide receiver for the Wolverines this season.

Not with all those game plans, packages, routes, schemes and tendencies to remember.

There's no doubt that what Peppers did in games to become a Heisman Trophy finalist was incredibly impressive this fall, but what might be even more inspiring is all the preparation that goes into being able to do what he does on Saturdays.
