A writer on Total Frat Move thinks Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers is college football’s most overrated player. Here’s an excerpt:
The thing about Mr. Versatility, a phrase coined by Michigan fans, is that although he plays basically every position on the field pretty well, the question is can he play any singular position at an elite level? So far, the answer has been an unequivocal no.
So, with major publications including Sports Illustrated (where he’s currently on the cover), Bill Simmons’ The Ringer, ESPN, and Athlon sports ranking Peppers as one of the five best overall players in the country, for what I would imagine is the first time in college football history a third-year player with seventy-two total yards of offense, two touchdowns and not a single defensive takeaway is a projected top fifteen draft pick and likely Heisman ceremony invitee, what is going on?
