The Cleveland Browns selected safety Jabrill Peppers with the 25th overall selection of the 2017 NFL Draft with the idea that he would help solidify the secondary and add a missing spark to the return game.
Peppers was notable in college as a jack of all trades for Michigan, playing safety and linebacker on defense, seeing some time on offense, and averaging 13.1 yards per punt return and 26.8 yards per kick return.
With the Browns, Peppers is slated to stick to the safety position, and hopefully head coach Hue Jackson resists the urge to put him in an offensive package, and handle at least the punt return duties.
