5 reasons Jabrill Peppers should win the Heisman Trophy

1. He’s a humble leader

When you’re the topic of conversation and a Heisman hopeful, tension will build and egos will inflate. There is only one of two ways that a player can respond to the pressure.

He’ll either stay humble, or become full of himself. The second choice can either fuel a player or sink them entirely. Either way, he forgets the meaning of the word teamwork and folds completely because he is unable to handle the workload of 11 people.

Jabrill Peppers is considered a champion because he not only elevates his level of play, he makes everyone else on the field around him better. Quite simply because he’s not thinking about how great he is.

He is undeniably the leader of this Michigan roster because every time he takes the field he does so with class and respect for the game. His demeanor is that of a leader, and his outstanding level of play continues to grow each and every week.

A winner tells you how great he is by recalling the moments where he won the game, but a champion will show you his greatness without saying a word. Jabrill Peppers is that champion and is overly deserving of being the next Heisman great.
