This is true. If Peppers is great, and I believe he will be, this will never be remembered.
Anyone who has followed the Lions through 0-16 (remember their preseason record?) knows how to think about this.

Scrimmaging in spring would be useful as well.
I'm not sure what the hangup is here. Seems to make sense. These could be charity scrimmages as well.

The most ridiculous criticism I've heard of Peppers professional carrer so far by Ohio State fans who are also cleveland browns fans.
"For a first round pick I would expect him to have done more by now"
These lame brains think he should have 20 interceptions, and a handful of TD returns by the second week of preseason scrimmage games. Of course on the other side people who are Ohio State fans, and also Steeler fans are of the assesment that Peppers is the worst draft bust of all time.

Next time ask those cooler poopers how the following THEEEEE ohio 1st round picks did in the NFL:
10. Andy Katzenmoyer, New England Patriots (No. 28, 1999) - was one of the best linebackers in the country, and one of the most infamous college athletes of the late 20th century. A Sports Illustrated story told the country of the nefarious ways Katzenmoyer remained eligible to play football for Ohio State. He was a much-debated NFL draft prospect who fell to the bottom of the first round. If he hadn’t dropped, he’d be much higher on this list. A neck injury quickly derailed his NFL career, and he played in only two seasons.
9. Archie Griffin, Cincinnati Bengals (No. 24, 1976) - only player in the history of college football to win the Heisman Trophy twice. His NFL career was not quite as illustrious. He played seven seasons but never reached 700 rushing yards in a season. When the Bengals played in the Super Bowl in 1982, Griffin was a reserve and carried the ball twice in three playoff games.
8. Craig Powell, Cleveland Browns (No. 30, 1995) - a linebacker spent two seasons with the Browns/Baltimore Ravens and one with the New York Jets. Three years after being done in the NFL, Powell resurfaced with the San Francisco Demons of the XFL. He played in 15 NFL games, and according to a website dedicated to the Demons (seriously), Powell had 26 tackles and a sack in the lone season of the XFL.
7. Rick Middleton, New Orleans Saints (No. 13, 1974) - a linebacker, started all 14 games in his second NFL season, and then was out of the league after five years. He spent the final three with the Chargers, where he started two games.
6. Howard Cassady, Detroit Lions (No. 3, 1956) - “Hopalong” won the Heisman Trophy in 1955, and then spent eight underwhelming seasons as an NFL running back. He had 604 yards from scrimmage and 7 touchdowns in 1958, which was his best statistical season. He was fifth in the NFL in touchdown catches that season.
5. Rickey Dudley, Oakland Raiders (No. 9, 1996) - was a huge tight end prospect, but was just OK for a few years with the Raiders before his career fizzled out. He did finish ninth in the league in touchdown catches one year, and he managed to hang on in the NFL for nine seasons, playing for three teams. Michigan tight end Jay Riemersma finished with 221 catches in his NFL career — the same total as Dudley — and was also selected in the 1996 draft. He went 235 picks later, in the seventh round.
4. Eric Kumerow, Miami Dolphins (No. 16, 1988) - played three seasons in the NFL after being a first-round pick. He never became a starter, and had five sacks in three seasons as a reserve linebacker. He has a pair of nephews, Joey and Nick Bosa, who should spend a little more time in the NFL than he did.
3. Vernon Gholston, New York Jets (No. 6, 2008) - was a big recruiting win for Ohio State from Cass Tech in Detroit. He had 14.5 sacks as a redshirt sophomore in 2007 and declared for the draft. Three seasons after being the No. 6 pick, the Jets were done with him. He signed contracts with two other teams and had a tryout with a third, but never played in the NFL again. He finished his career without sacking an NFL quarterback.
2. Tom Cousineau, Buffalo Bills (No. 1, 1979) - became the answer to a lot of trivia answers in a relatively anonymous NFL career. The Bills received the No. 1 pick as part of a package in a trade for O.J. Simpson. Cousineau spurned the Bills and signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL instead. When Couisneau, a linebacker, decided he was ready for the NFL, the Bills traded him to the Cleveland Browns for a package of picks that included a 1983 first-round choice. That pick became Jim Kelly. Cousineau spent four years as a starter in Cleveland, then two years not playing much for the San Francisco 49ers. He also hit a police car and was charged with drunk driving, though he was found not guilty.
1. Art Schlichter, Baltimore Colts (No. 4, 1982) – his gambling problems are well documented, and they ruined not only his NFL career but his life. He started six NFL games, threw 3 touchdown passes and was intercepted 11 times. More importantly, his story has been told over and over again to young football players about gambling and addiction. He is now serving a 127-month sentence in a federal prison in Indiana for wire fraud, bank fraud and filing false income tax returns.

You are saying that an Ohio State fan will listen to logic about a player from Michigan? Conor McGregor had a better chance at knocking out Mayweather.

He returned it to the Cleveland 23...I guess that's close to midfield if you count close as being on the same field as midfield. Also, preseason stats don't count towards career stats. Glad Jabrill is making plays.

August 26th, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
what if ..... Jabrill's lack of INT's at Michigan wasn't a lack of "ball skills" or ability...but the fact that Michigan didn't use him in a way that was conducive to getting that type of stat....
August 26th, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^
Pfff... naww... that makes no sense...

Nice! Pretty sure Peppers is twice the athlete and has close to twice the speed of that tight end. If he didn't suck as bad as he did, his fat ass would've got to that ball. Should've sprayed the football with cheeseburger seasoning.
August 26th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^

I predict a lot of these. Dude's where he needs to be. Wish he'd done more at Michigan but he contributed plenty. Now onwards to his NFL future, good luck kid. Be smart with your money and always self-question those who surround you and why. Give back when it's right.

Why do bad things happen to good people. Expect him to become a starter and hopefully end up on a contender.
GO BLUE!!

He's looked good at deep safety all preseason. I would've loved to have seen him playing SS for us this year allowing Metellus one more year.
He's going to be a beast in the league.
