Jabrill Peppers was the first Michigan player taken in the 2017 NFL draft with the 25th overall pick. Peppers was selected by the Cleveland Browns to help boost their secondary.

Peppers played and started in 13 games his rookie season recording 58 tackles, one interception, and three pass deflections. Peppers made a jump his second year with the BRowns with 79 tackles, one sacks, and one interception.

After spending two years with the Browns, Peppers went to the Giants where he spent three years in New York. Peppers' best year so far was his second year with the Giants where he recorded 2.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and fumble recovery, and 91 tackles.

Peppers is now in his second season with New England and most recently played and started in 15 games and recorded two interceptions and 78 tackles. Peppers is still active in the league and still has a lot he can do with any team he chooses to play for.
