The turnover chain has been something that has taken over college football the last few seasons, and according to New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers, it has made its way to the NFL. Peppers let out the secret that the Giants have a turnover trophy that is given after each practice to any defensive player that forces a turnover during that practice.
Peppers said he really enjoys the new wrinkle because it makes everyone compete trying to get one of those little trophies.
“Yes, it makes you compete and want to go out there and cause turnovers. It’s just a good little thing,” Peppers said Sunday via the New York Post.
So far Corey Ballentine is leading the way with five turnovers. Aside from the turnover trophy, Peppers has been trying to gain chemistry with Antonie Bethea who is expected to be his counterpart in the secondary. Peppers knows how important it is for chemistry and is glad the two have worked well together so far.
“That’s a great dynamic,” Peppers said via Giants Wire. “We kind of hit it off from the jump, I bounce stuff off of him all the time. He has played in this system before but now things are really starting to slow down for me so I’m not asking him as many questions as I was. It’s definitely good having a veteran guy back there to tell you watch this and that before the play so you keep it in the back of your mind, and it gives you a chance to make some big time plays.”
There are some questions about the Giants offense, so if Peppers, Bertha and the rest of the defense can cause some turnovers, that would really help the team.
