Peppers' special recipe: Talent, desire, leadership

Ann Arbor -- Michigan defensive back Jabrill Peppers has been waiting and waiting and waiting, not always patiently, to get back on the field.

Peppers, considered one of the top players in the country coming out of high school, was tremendous hyped entering his Michigan career but played briefly early last season before leg injuries sidelined him.

Now Peppers is ready to make his second debut and coach Jim Harbaugh has even suggested the young safety can be a three-way player this fall, getting snaps on offense in addition to working in the return game.

Greg Jackson, who coaches Michigan's defensive backs, doesn't worry about losing Peppers to the offense.
