FOXBORO, Mass. — To say Bill Belichick is pleased with Jabrill Peppers’ progress would be a significant understatement.
The Patriots head coach lit up Tuesday when asked whether he’s seen growth from the veteran safety as he enters his second season in New England.
“Oh my God, yeah,” Belichick said before the Patriots’ second minicamp practice. “He’s a much different player now than he was last year at this time or even in training camp. A full year after the injury, a lot of confidence in the communication, the system, his assignments. He’s playing fast, aggressive, helping out his teammates.
