We’ve already seen Jabrill Peppers shell out some impressive hits throughout training camp and the NFL preseason. But that wasn’t enough for the former Michigan star.
In the Browns-Buccaneers preseason game on Saturday night, Peppers came up with a huge play to keep Tampa Bay out of the end zone.
JABRILL. PEPPERS.

Not only did Peppers intercept the pass, he got the Browns pretty good field position with his return. It’s still the preseason but the rookie is proving he belongs on the field.
Despite playing in 27 games and playing multiple positions during his Michigan career, Peppers only intercepted one pass in college, which came in 2016.
Peppers was taken in the first round of the NFL Draft and was selected No. 25 overall.
