New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick offered high praise for safety Jabrill Peppers, when speaking with the media on Day 2 of the team’s mandatory minicamp.
Peppers recorded 60 combined tackles last season for New England. He played in 17 games and started in five of them. One of the biggest games of the season came against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17 of the 2022 season, when he recorded eight total tackles.
His continued contributions will be important with the retirement of Devin McCourty. He will look to help supplement a unit that includes Kyle Dugger, Adrian Phillips and rookie third-round draft pick Marte Mapu.
So far, Belichick is extremely impressed with the progress Peppers has made.
“Oh yeah. Oh my God. Yes. Totally is a much different player…” Belichick said, when asked about Peppers, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
