I'm underwhelmed by Peppers. I admit that I don't watch TTUN closely but it seems like he plays a lot of positions and is decent-good at most of them but he doesn't seem like a standout at any particular position.

He's the best athlete they've had there in at least ten years aside from Denard, so the fact he's either their best or second best player at nine different positions says more about their crootin' and development than it does about him.

His best position in college would be as an H in an Urban Meyer offense, or in the Shazier/Lee role in a Luke Fickell defense. Michigan affords him neither position to really shine where his skills would be maximized while his flaws would be minimized.

Agreed on the H-back part, but not so much on the "Shazier/Lee role". Shazier weighed in at 237 at the NFL combine, and Lee at 235. Now it is generally known amongst hardcore Buckeye fans that both Shazier and Lee struggled to keep weight on during college and bulked up in preparation for the combine. So let's say that each player weighed around 225 at Ohio State.

Peppers is listed in Michigan's official roster at 205, which (given the nature of football rosters) is probably at least five pounds heavier than reality. In any event, Peppers is awfully small to play the "Shazier/Lee" role. Ironically, his best position would probably be a strong safety in Rich Rod's old 3-3-5 defense.

One other thing to consider: Lee (235 lbs) ran a 4.47 at the combine. Shazier (237 lbs) did not run at the combine but posted an "unofficial" 4.36 at his pro day. I'd really like to see how fast Peppers (at only 205 lbs) really is.

Awesome stat line:

3 Tackles (2 solo) 0 INT, passes defended, QB hurries or sacks.
33 return yards on three opportunities.

so...almost halfway through the season and he has what, 1 TD?

And zero interceptions, passes defended, forced fumbles, or fumble recoveries. He was essentially neutralized against their first real test this year. Another September Heisman in the books.

He's an excellent athlete, but might be the most overrated player in the last two decades when it comes to hype vs. production.

Get ready to address the super compelling and substantive argument that offenses are drawing up their game plan to "run and pass away from him" (cuz such a disruptive athlete) to combat the "he doesn't have much fucking production" argument.

Fairly easy retort... Great defensive players find the ball... regardless of what the other team does.

He's certainly not great, but he's certainly very good in the role that Harbaugh has put him in (he was a complete failure as a CB). And he's very dangerous as a punt returner.

Overhyped certainly. Nonetheless if he were a Buckeye he'd at least be in the two-deep, which means he's pretty doggone good at playing football.
