Michigan Wolverines All-American linebacker/defensive back Jabrill Peppers is projected to be a top 10 pick in the NFL Draft, but he is still contemplating his future. After reports surfaced that Peppers had already turned pro, Peppers took to Twitter to vehemently deny those reports:
Funny how I haven't made any decisions on my future. This is a complete false report. https://t.co/r3t4QV3DSe

This is going to be one of the hardest decisions in my life. If you haven't heard anything from the UofM or myself, it's FALSE. Thank You

Now, this doesn't mean Peppers is returning to Michigan for his senior season, just that he hasn't decided his future yet and is seriously thinking about returning.
The deadline for players to declare for the draft is Jan. 18.
Peppers was a Heisman finalist this season, racking up 67 tackles with four sacks, one forced fumble and one interception, but also spent time on offense, rushing for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries. In fact, Peppers ended up playing 11 different positions for the Wolverines this year.
