The New England Patriots' defense took a major step back in 2024, and one of the biggest reasons for that was the lack of Jabrill Peppers' presence in the secondary.
Due to injuries and some off-the-field issues, Peppers played in just six games this past season, logging 40 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble.
That was a far cry from Peppers' 2023 campaign, when he racked up 78 tackles, a sack, a couple of picks and eight passes defended while registering a brilliant 87.3 overall grade at Pro Football Focus. That ranked fifth among all safeties.
