Could Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers be on his way to the NFL? According to a report from The Detroit Free Press on Monday, it appears that could be in the works for the redshirt sophomore.
For now, Peppers’ mother is reportedly interviewing potential NFL agents in order to find one that will be best suited to handle her son’s future professional career.

It is worth pointing out Peppers has never said he is definitely staying at Michigan or leaving for the NFL, but his talent is known to be ready to perhaps make the jump to the NFL as soon as next season, if somebody can just figure out where to play him on the field.
The timing of it all would seem to make sense. Michigan is a team heavy on upper classmen and next year could probably be a mild step back. If this was Michigan’s best chance to win something big with Peppers, then making a decision to leave for the next level would make some sense too.
