The New England Patriots safety room was perhaps the biggest strength of the roster entering the 2022 season. One of those pieces is just starting to heat up.
After slowly ramping up throughout the summer after rupturing his ACL last season, safety Jabrill Peppers — who the team signed this past offseason to a one-year deal — has showed his value in a limited role.
Through two games, Peppers has aligned all over the field for the Patriots. According to Pro Football Focus, the versatile defensive back has lined up in the box (21 snaps), in the slot (five), as a deep safety (four), on the edge (three) and as a wide cornerback (two).
