The list of things to look forward to as the new Michigan football season inches closer seems to grow by the day. There’s a quarterback battle to watch unfold, a defense that could be the best in the country, and a reasonable path to the College Football Playoff, to name a few.
The big-picture items are great, but it’s also OK to keep it simple and admire what Michigan has in Jabrill Peppers.
NFL.com agrees with that assessment, ranking Peppers as the No. 6 athlete to watch this season.
Surprised? Surely not.
