says there was no way he’d miss his first NFL training camp. But the Browns safety and first-round draft pick admitted it was indeed a relief when he signed his rookie contract this past weekend.
“It was very important,” Peppers said Thursday. “I was going to be here no matter what, but it was definitely a great feeling, too, that both sides came to an agreement when they did.”
