Cleveland Browns safety Jabrill Peppers is expecting big things this season—much greater things than during his winless rookie season.
For Peppers, it's all about the precious experience he picked up in 2017, via Nate Ulrich of Ohio.com.
“It allows you to play faster,” Peppers said, via Ohio.com. “You know what other guys are supposed to do as well. It allows you to help other guys play to your level, disguise certain things and make it look like a different scheme, things like that. It definitely helps having a year under my belt going through the offseason process with the guys, the whole offseason process, just relearning certain things, learning new techniques and how to play different schemes. It’s definitely going to be a tremendous help. I’m just looking forward to go out there, learn from my mistakes, playing that much faster, being in better shape now that I’ve got a year of conditioning with the guys under my belt, just going out there doing what I love to do and what I know how to do best.”
Peppers, 22, is a Michigan product who hails from East Orange, New Jersey and, quite to the point, is a pure football player. Though his listed position is safety, the kid did it all for head coach Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines.
Peppers compiled 44 tackles, one interception, three passes defensed, five forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 13 games as a rookie. As he's communicated already, he expects those numbers to be heightened come 2018.
