Players sometimes arrive at a new destination having to live up to someone who just left the team. Jabrill Peppers is now charged with replacing not one but two popular Pro Bowl players on the Giants.

How much of an afterthought is he in that deal? Have you heard anyone refer to Tuesday’s blockbuster as the Jabrill Peppers trade?
