ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Jim Harbaugh isnt the only one at Michigan judged on an impo sible bell curve.Sophomore cornerback Jabrill Peppers faces the same report card. Whats the grading scale? Impo sible.If Michigan fans perceive Harbaugh as the savior Adam Wainwright Jersey on the sidelines, then Peppers is expected to be the second coming of Charles Woodson, who won the Heisman Trophy and led the Wolverines to the national championship in 1997.Consider that on the second po se sion of Michigans spring game Saturday, Peppers screamed in from the slot andstuffed Wyatt Shallman for a one-yard gain. That prompted perhaps the loudest cheer of the day at Michigan Stadium outside of Harbaughs entrance.Peppers said he noticed that. He knows the expectations, but he doesnt feel pre sure. He unknowingly puts a reverse on the Allen Iverson Practice speech.I take practice in the spring very seriously, Peppers said. This was really no different than a practice, but it was a game. ... Its really no different than a practice, just a lot of people Chris Carpenter Jersey there. You gotta learn how to block that out, do your job and just play football.MORE: | | Thats life for a five-star recruit who mi sed most of 2014 with a leg injury. Peppers told reporters the thought of losing football cro sed his mind, which only enhanced his commitment to a Michiganeducation. Hes the right mix of charisma, intelligence and humility.He also has everyones attention again. Peppers made four tackles and nearly made an interception for the Maizeteam. The term difference maker was thrown his way in the radio broadcast by Dan Dierdorf andat least two reporters. Athletic director Jim Hackett was talking to a women when Peppers cro sed him in the stadium tunnel. Hackett stopped cold and asked the woman, Have you met Jabrill Peppers?Its almost a sitcom in Ann Arbor at this point. Everybody Knows Jabrill.Harbaugh said Peppers mi sed just one practice this spring while having a tooth extracted, though Peppers did everything he could to get on the field that day. As Harbaugh puts it, You start to fall in love with guys like that.Even when that pushes the limits.A lot of times a guy would go to the front for a drill, but he would go through the repetition of the drill and then I would see him at the front of the drill again. And again, Harbaugh said. Its like, Hey cmon. Jabrill Peppers isnt taking every rep in these drills. But thats the type of youngster he lex Reyes Jersey is.This is the hyper-competitive player-coach relationship that might be the key to the first few seasons of the Harbaugh era. Peppers is eating up everything Harbaugh and defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin serve, including a practice ploy in which Harbaugh makes the winning team in game situation drills run.MORE: | Hes fiery, hes crazy, like me, Peppers said. So we definitely get along very well. His staff he brought in is a great staff; great knowledgeable guys. Theyre great teachers, and were definitely headed in the right direction.Peppers appears to be the one tasked with taking Michigans defense to the next level. Last season, the Wolverines ranked seventh in the nation in total defense (311.3 yards per Lane Thomas Jersey game) but forced just 10 turnovers. Peppers doesnt want to be on a good defense; he repeatedlyused the word great. Hell talk a little smack in practice. Hell be the leader of this defense as a sophomore. Whatever it takes.I just like hitting more, Peppers said. I feel as though at the safety position Im around the ball more and have a bigger impact on the game rather than just being on one side. How will Harbaugh maximize Peppers talents? Peppers moved to safety this spring. Hell play cornerback or nickel back. Just like Woodson, Peppers wants to be an all-inclusive player. Woodson played cornerback, punt returner and wide receiver for Lloyd Carr on that national championship team. Will Peppers see some time on the other side of the ball?I cant speak on that yet, Peppers said with a smile. We were supposed to have a little surprise for the spring game, but we didnt get to that. You know, whatever the team needs.For now, Michigan needs Peppers to Drew Robinson Jersey keep doing what hes doing. Hes pa sed every test from Harbaugh, who was asked if Peppers po se ses the it factor. That induced a laugh that suggested, Well, you saw him out there, didnt you?You can grade Harbaugh, but let him grade Peppers. It's his job, after all.That it factor being a good football player, then yeah, hes a good football player, Harbaugh answered. Hes been A-plus.
