You'll be hard pressed to come up with a worse Heisman finalist.

Guys stats were nothing eye popping and he constantly was getting clowned like that or just completely out of position

HE DID LOTS OF THINGS THOUGH! not well but he did them!

It was one of the biggest shams in CFB history.

His stats:
66 tckls, 13 tfl, 3 sacks, 1 int, 1 pass defended, 0 forced fumbles, 0 fumble recoveries
27 att, 167 yds, 3 td // 2 rec, 3 yds
21 pr, 310 yds, 14.8 avg, 1 td // 10 kr 260 yds, 0 td

So, on paper, his 13 tfl looks pretty decent, but forced just 1 turnover all year (a gift INT vs tOSU).
On offense, he was a decent gadget player as a runner averaging a little over 6 ypc and scoring 3 td
He was an above average return specialist.
ON PAPER.

A deeper dive shows that he was basically the classic scUM paper tiger. 12 of those TFL and all 3 of the sacks came against Hawaii, a bad UCF team, Colorado, Rutgers, 3-9 Sparty and Indiana. In the other 6 games...1 TFL, 0 sacks.
As for his offense, he had 5 carries for 98 yards and 2 TD against Colorado and Rutgers...22 carries for 69 yards and 1 TD against everyone else.

His stats were nothing overly impressive on the surface, but he padded those against garbage. Heisman FINALIST

I think it's possible that what happened to Dan Brown's defense had a great deal to do with a drop-off in talent and a simultaneous increase in talent at Ohio State. Now it sounds like, "we don't have the horses to line up and go at 'em, so let's get a bunch of gimmicks and see what happens."

Wasn't he the guy who wrote the Da Vinci Code? I didn't know that guy coached defenses.
Does he know Don Brown?

Which brings us back full circle… if you don’t give Daxton Hill a position and line him up all over the place (!!!) he can win linebacker of the year, defensive player of the year, and be a Heisman finalist by approximating Peppers’ bullshit stats.

GP 12
Solo tackles 46
Assisted tackles 20
Total tackles 66
TFL 13
Sacks 3
Int 1 (11 yards)
Passes defended 1

The hype and awards around Peppers was truly some of the dumbest shit I’ve cared to pay attention to in recent college football.

Did he ever purposely wiff on a block so his punt returner could get absolutely blown up?

Or let a punt go over his head so he could throw a cheap shoulder into an opponent who wasn't allowed to hit him.....which lead to a pick 6 bc the ball didn't reach the end zone?

Me: "Damn - Peppers was a Heisman finalist?" Google Google Google. "Aww crap - he just signed with the Browns? All he ever did was play punt returner on every damned defensive play. Ugh."
Anyway, his Wikipedia page says he finished 5th in the Heisman voting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabrill_Peppers
Following the 2016 season, Peppers was named the Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year, Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year, Rodgers-White Return Specialist of the Year, and a Unanimous All-American.[13] He became the first player in Big Ten history to collect three individual honors since the conference expanded its individual award recognition program in 2011. Peppers was also named to the All-Big Ten defensive first-team, and All-Big Ten special teams first-team by both the coaches and media. Peppers helped lead a unit that finished first in eight Big Ten defensive categories. He contributed a career-best 72 tackles, 16 tackles-for-loss, four sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble. He also contributed in special teams, posting 21 punt returns for 310 yards (14.8 avg.) and one touchdown and had 10 kickoff returns for 260 yards (26.0 avg.). He also contributed on the offensive side of the ball, rushing 27 times for 167 yards and three touchdowns while catching two passes.[14] He was also awarded the Paul Hornung Award, honoring the nation's most versatile college football player, and the Lott Trophy. Peppers played 933 snaps during the 2016 campaign, logging 726 plays on defense, 53 plays on offense, and 154 snaps on special teams. Peppers has seen the field at 15 different positions during the season.[15][16] He finished fifth in voting for the 2016 Heisman Trophy.

Edit - correction: he didn't sign with the Browns. He's just returning to Cleveland to face the Browns with the Giants. Sorry. That's why you read the whole article and not just the headline.

Yep, exactly. He might as well have not even been on the field against any of the better teams, he was virtually invisible in those games.

They hype around peppers was basically just "HE RUNS REAL FAST AND DOES LOTS OF THINGS". Never mind he wasn't particularly great at anything but he did it at a fast pace. They really wanted him to be Charles Woodson so bad.

Yet somehow 11 people voted him 1st, 45 2nd, and 85 3rd in the Heisman voting:lol:
