New York Giants Expecting Big Things From Newly Acquired Safety Jabrill Peppers

The New York Giants essentially replaced Pro Bowl caliber safety Landon Collins with third-year swiss army knife Jabrill Peppers. While the two have completely different styles of play, it seems to be a clear swap at the position.

Peppers is a speedy jackknife type of athlete with the skill-set to cover receivers while also play the run, while Collins played the run predominantly and struggled in coverage. I can imagine defensive coordinator James Bettcher making Peppers his utility man that can play several positions.

In additional to Jabrill’s clear-cut skills, he’s also a premier return man, something the Giants have lacked greatly in recent years.
