Jabrill Peppers will be the first to tell you he didn’t have the rookie season he wanted.
The Browns’ rookie safety and return specialist envisioned himself making an immediate impact and, instead, experienced highs and lows throughout his first NFL season.
“I don’t know what grade I would give myself right now,” Peppers said Monday, “but it wouldn’t be a favorable one.”
Peppers, who has been his own biggest critic at times this year, said he expects more from himself. After all, he did just about everything at Michigan before the Browns picked him up with the 25th overall pick in last spring’s NFL Draft.
