It's rare to look at a group of high school prospects and have none that totally flame out. I'd say this evidence is very promising regarding Peppers's future.

I had the opposite reaction than your initial comment - to me, it seemed like almost all these guys were successful in regard to at least being solid college contributors, if not NFL all-pros. I found it encouraging that the straight-up busts like Justin Turner were few.<br /><br />Also, if you assume that the analysis of recruits is getting better as more people do it and more information is available...the recent success (from Eric Berry on) is particularly impressive.<br /><br />I'll say this - I have not been as excited about a recruit arriving as I am about Peppers since probably Steve Breaston or maybe even back to Henson/Terrell/Walker era. (I've thought some were more needed for immediate help like Tate Forcier, but for guys that didn't necessarily have to contribute right away...) Usually I can think of a few reasons to keep optimism in check but Peppers really does seem to have everything going for him. I also really like that we have a near-full secondary, so nothing will be handed to him.Lanknowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-3556144826340575632014-01-17T12:03:54.516-05:002014-01-17T12:03:54.516-05:00I love your articles GREAT JOB GO BLUEI love your articles GREAT JOB GO BLUEMikeCay93https://www.blogger.com/profile/14028829199122633333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-22731799243717398872014-01-17T11:42:10.080-05:002014-01-17T11:42:10.080-05:00Great analysis.

We want more." --- AT&T commercial with those cute kids (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48-tcRiBNj4)<br /><br />I'm wondering how these players ranked OVERALL* in their respective classes. IOW, Peppers is ranked #2 overall. My impression is that that #1 CB who is ranked #2 overall is unusual, which leads me to think that Peppers has a greater probability of success than--for example--Malcolm Mitchell who was ranked as a 4-start (I don't know how he was ranked overall). <br /><br />*Sorry to YELL, but this response system would not allow me to underline or italicize for emphasis. <br /><br />--TriFloydTriFloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630078315100823572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-9048939339236992892014-01-17T09:37:34.796-05:002014-01-17T09:37:34.796-05:00I know you compare Peppers physically to Eric Berr...I know you compare Peppers physically to Eric Berry, but there are a few experts who prefer the Patrick Peterson comparison, and that's what we're all hoping for, I wager.BlastBeat88https://www.blogger.com/profile/11495258339873702405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-36409158938642951582014-01-17T09:31:04.916-05:002014-01-17T09:31:04.916-05:00I know he was #2, but I read that Kendall Fuller h...I know he was #2, but I read that Kendall Fuller had a very impressive FR year for the Hokies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-87794855269281680012014-01-17T09:06:42.489-05:002014-01-17T09:06:42.489-05:00What do you think the odds are of Peppers playing ...What do you think the odds are of Peppers playing safety instead of cornerback as his primary position.
