Michigan Football: 5 Takeaways from the Wolverines’ 6-0 Start

Jabrill Peppers reminds of Charles Woodson

Outside of Michigan’s overall dominance as a team, by far the biggest story through the first six games has been Peppers.

We all knew how dynamic Peppers was before the season, so really, we shouldn’t be surprised by what he’s doing.

Yet, week after week, game after game, he continues to wow you.

As a linebacker, he’s been lights out. He has 35 tackles, 10 TFL and two sacks. His ability to blitz and wreak havoc in the backfield has  been off the charts and he is undoubtedly, going to be a top-10 pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

In truth, no player since Charles Woodson, has done the things that Peppers is doing. The two are especially similar when it comes to dominating all three phases of the game,

Woodson did that, now Peppers is following in his footsteps. Five rushes for 98 yards and two touchdowns on offense, as well as a punt return TD and average of 17.8 yards per return are reasons why Peppers is generating so much Heisman talk.

Who knows if he can repeat the feats of Woodson, but so far, he’s off to a good start.
