Ann Arbor — There is really no way to categorize Michigan junior Jabrill Peppers.
He’s listed in the just-released roster as a linebacker/defensive back, having been molded into a hybrid role by new defensive coordinator Don Brown, but he also returns kicks, and the second half of last season began contributing on offense.
So what exactly is he?
“I just say athlete,” Peppers said matter of factly Sunday at media day. “I don’t really get into specifics.”
It is difficult to confine Peppers in one role, obviously. But this is his norm.
“I’ve been doing that since Pop Warner,” Peppers said.
