WATCH: Jabrill Peppers lays the hammer on Browns WR
Published:
Before he was picked in the first round of the NFL Draft, Jabrill Peppers caught plenty of criticism.
Analysts were unsure of which position he’d play in the NFL and several were concerned that his skill-set wouldn’t translate to the next level. Peppers sent a message to his critics and doubters, though.
A loud one. At the expense of Browns receiver Rannell Hall:

That’s a pretty effective wake-up call, I’d say.
Peppers made it pretty clear that his skill-set can transfer to the NFL. And it doesn’t matter if he’s in-between position, if a guy can drop the hammer like that, you find a place for him on the field.
