It was a huge deal when the New York Giants traded Odell Beckham Jr., and it’s almost easy to just focus on Beckham’s departure without remembering that the Giants got a player in return for Beckham along with the 17th pick in the draft. That player happened to be Jabrill Peppers, the safety that’s expected to fill in for Landon Collins this year as the leader of the safeties.
Peppers, of course, isn’t the most experienced player at the position. Antoine Bethea is the much older of the two and Michael Thomas is also the older player. However, neither of those players are coming into the season with the same expectations as Peppers, who has been hyped since his college days at Michigan.
