Exit Jabrill Peppers, Per Report
[Bryan Fuller]
We don't usually put "per report" in these titles but this is on the borderline between solid and, uh, not solid. So take it in that spirit. Per Darren Heitner, citing agent sources:
While sources have indicated that Peppers and Butt are definitely signing with Sexton and Collins, only a few days ago Peppers stated that he was undecided as to whether he would be leaving Michigan.
"I still don't know what I'm going to do yet," he said. "I've got some decisions to make."
That's a hell of a hedge with your final two sentences in an article headlined "Jabrill Peppers going pro," but Sam Webb retweeted it so good enough for me. Jabrill Peppers off to the first round of the draft, where he will create one more burst of "LOL OVERRATED I CAN'T SPELL BANANNANA" tweets before embarking on a long and excellent NFL career.
Update:
I'm told by #Michigan sources -- @forbes report on @JabrillPeppers is "false." Time will tell if it's just premature, but I was told "false"

So that's why I put report in the title. Probably a distinction without a difference.
UPDATE UPDATE:
Funny how I haven't made any decisions on my future. This is a complete false report. https://t.co/r3t4QV3DSe

bummer he didn't get to play in either bowl game the past two years. will be rooting hard for him in the NFL, wherever he ends up
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:32 PM ^
That Jabrill is going pro.
Make that report false, and I'm a happy camper! I have wondered--based on things Jabrill himself has recently said--whether this might be a harder decision than most people are making it out to be.
I hope Jabrill does whatever he decides is in his own best interest--but selfishly, I hope that best interest includes returning to don the winged helmet and win the Heisman!

of all time and yet he didn't get to accomplish much in terms of winning things. No Big Ten titles, no East division championships and didn't even get to play in a bowl game let alone win one. I am a little sad for him, but he will have a great future no matter what he decides.

I might not be understanding your post but UM beat Florida last year in the bowl game.
January 3rd, 2017 at 2:18 PM ^
Didn't play vs. Florida either.
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:00 PM ^
Just come back at some point and get your degree if you haven't already gotten one.
You were an awesome addition, and a huge pleasure to watch.
Thank you!

Knew this was coming...but still....

and now this? I can't take much more.

Wait... Mariah Carey's going pro too?
Someone start the post!

Barely.

Where's the Exit Mariah Carey post?

and facebook, and instagram, and....

in the blink of an eye. I don't even count his freshman year since he was basically out the entire time. I'm happy he can now provide for his mother, I'm happy he recieved a majority of his coaching from Harbaugh & staff, I'm happy that he has the chance to make top money.
That's the point of college to help you get your dream job, and right now he has the opportunity to get his dream job. Best of luck Jabrill!

The state of Michigan's problem with spelling "gray" can be explained by the fact that we have too many Canadians in our midst spelling it the bad Canadian way ("grey"). Not sure what Ohio's excuse is for "banana".
Anyway, best of luck to Jabrill.

It felt like one of those situations Friday where if he had to been forced to make a decision after the game he would've made the highly emotional choice to come back, but taking the time to think about it he elected to go pro, which honestly makes a lot of sense for him.
I look forward to watching him on Sundays.

bleh accidental double click
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:07 PM ^
NOOOO
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:07 PM ^
This shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone, though, after Jabrill missing the Orange Bowl and his reaction to it, I held a sliver of hope he'd return for another year.
I don't blame him for his decision at all. He was extremely fun to watch and will continue to be on Sunday's going forward!

Sam Webb just recanted on twitter.
I'm told by #Michigan sources -- @forbes report on @JabrillPeppers is "false." Time will tell if it's just premature, but I was told "false"
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:11 PM ^
why is Webb playing with our emotions
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:13 PM ^
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:09 PM ^
in the future. We want players come here for 3 years and then hit up the draft. This means we are having top players blow up and going to the draft, which means more top recruits are going to want to come and play here, its a wonderful cycle.
If you do not believe this is good/true just look OSU's recruiting, that's what we want.

Sam Webb just tweeted that this is FALSE!

Whatever the case, thanks, Jabrill! A true Michigan Man!
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:16 PM ^
This is a "Let the kid announce" type of false info.
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:23 PM ^
That's pretty much how I'm reading it. Peppers returning would be shocking and probably not in his best interest overall.
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:18 PM ^
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:20 PM ^
did Sam Webb just tweet that it was false?
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:20 PM ^
Peppers says it's fake.
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:22 PM ^
Probably just premature. It'd be frankly shocking if he decided to come back. I mean, we'd love to have him, but you don't expect a sure-fire first rounder to come back.
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:27 PM ^
after Butt's ACL injury....... any fraction of a chance disappeared.
January 3rd, 2017 at 1:26 PM ^
Thought was a thing of the past?

Despite the undoubtedly impeccable qualifications of "random Forbes guy," I choose to believe the word of Jabrill Peppers himself as to what Jabrill Peppers has decided to do. Instead of the "UPDATE UPDATE" to this post, I think the better course is to take the post down. Whatever the likelihood that Peppers will ultimately decide to go pro, it seems like we can wait for, you know, Peppers to actually make that decision.
