‘Oh my God’: Bill Belichick has high praise for strides made by safety Jabrill Peppers

FOXBORO — Bill Belichick isn’t exactly known for doling out heaps of praise up at the podium.

Unless you’re Lawrence Taylor, of course.

But when asked Tuesday about the strides made by safety Jabrill Peppers entering his second season in New England, Belichick offered up a rave review.

“Oh my god, yeah. He’s a much different player now than he was last year at this time or even in training camp,” Belichick said of Peppers. “A full year after the injury, a lot of confidence in the communication, the system, his assignments. He’s playing fast, aggressive, helping out his teammates.
