Jabrill Peppers was named one of the Giants’ six captains this week. That should come as no surprise. The starting safety is one of their top players and a fiery person who brings quality leadership to the locker room and the field.

The wrinkle, though, is that Peppers isn’t a captain on defense. He was voted a special teams captain. And while that may seem like a secondary role for him or any other established player on the roster, when it comes to these Giants, it’s one of the most important jobs they can have.
