special teams this year, the
intent is to make an impact
first in the secondary.
"I know he's going to
play defense, going to play
safety, and we'll see what
happens beyond that,"
said safeties coach Greg
Jackson, who knows he
is working with a special
player. "Everything is full
speed with Jabrill. When
he makes a mistake, he can
recover so quickly, it's al-
most like he didn't make
the mistake.
"The sky is the limit for
him."
Peppers played in only
three games a year ago be-
fore suffering a right knee
injury in week five as he
prepared to make the move
from cornerback to starting
safety against Minnesota.
He was eventually granted
a redshirt and feels he has
been able to hit the reset
button on the start on his
career.
"I'm just a guy that is
hungry and wants to lead
by example," he said. "I'll
do whatever the coach asks
me to do, with maximum
potential and effort."
This is all a little bit much
for a player with three
games of experience, Skene
argues, trying to slow down
the abundance of hype fol-
lowing Peppers around ev-
erywhere he goes.
During his career at Paramus (N.J.) Catholic, Peppers
carried the ball 373 times for 3,122 yards and 43 touch-
downs plus caught 57 passes for 877 yards and 17
scores.
