30. . DB. Michigan. Jabrill Peppers. 6. player

With each passing week, the legend of Jabrill Peppers continues to grow. Since arriving on campus, Peppers has done a little bit of everything for the Wolverines, and has put himself in the Heisman Trophy discussion this year. The undefeated Wolverines may actually play for a national championship this season, and Peppers has played a role in every game.

The best part about Peppers is how versatile he is, as he can make an impact on both sides of the ball. Not only is he one of the better linebackers in college football, he can make things happen in the return game, and has even played some Wildcat for Michigan. He would be a fan favorite for whatever team picks him, but the New York Jets would be the perfect landing spot at No. 6.

Peppers grew up in New Jersey, and played his high school ball at Paramus Catholic High School. Paramus Catholic is a short drive from MetLife Stadium, where the Jets play their home games. The defensive stars for the Jets are getting long in the tooth, and the franchise is in desperate need of their next big star. Peppers would be that guy.
