You learn to expect the unexpected from Peppers, who would've thrived a half century ago and further back, when players such as the Wolverines' first Heisman Trophy winner, Tom Harmon, starred on offense, defense and even kicked.

Though, few expected Peppers to become a possible Butkus Award candidate, and he might do that in 2016.
