And the media is 100% to blame. Sure, he's an athletic freak, but he belongs nowhere near NYC for the Heisman ceremony. Here are his 2016 statistics:

Defense
-59 tackles
-13 TFL
-3 sacks
-1 INT
-1 pass defended
-0 forced fumbles
-0 fumble recoveries
-0 TD's

Offense
-167 rushing yards (6.2 average)
-3 receiving yards
-3 rushing TD's
-0 receiving TD's

Special Teams
-310 punt return yards (14.8 average)
-260 kick return yards (26.0 average)
-1 punt return TD
-0 kick return TD's



BUT OMG HE PLAYS LB, CB, SAFETY, QB, RB, WR, PR, KR

And for personal satisfaction purposes only, here's a nice video of Mike Weber kicking him out for Curtis Samuel's game winning TD yesterday.

A day late and a dollar short on this. Fifth best player on the D. Jack of all trades, master of none, I agree. We get it.

He's poor in coverage, and I believe he was misused this year on offense.

Here's a question, though: why is he still on your mind?

Better candidate than Manti Te'o, though.

Only Michigan fans ever tried to claim otherwise and they were universally derided by fans of every other team

In a normal year he isn't in the conversation but this is one of the weakest years I can remember. Jackson is prob going to win despite his team losing their last two games in pretty bad fashion

I replied to someone in a Heisman thread a few weeks ago that the Peppers Hesiman campaign was a joke (I believe it was during the Louisville/Houston game). Mentioned that I've been meaning to start a thread on it. Held off because I didn't want to jinx myself with a few more weeks of games left.

Here's a question: are you still mad?


ETA. found the thread from a few weeks ago. LINK

I honestly don't understand why Michigan has become a bogeyman on this board?. What have they done to piss off so many random fans? They haven't won a conference title in 12 years, they aren't known to be thugs, they aren't dirty on the recruiting trail, and the 2 of us UM fans on this board are absolute angels to everyone, very polite. Michigan's been a non factor for years.

Why does Michigan deserve so much random hate than, say, FSU or Clemson? I never see ANYONE attack either of those programs on this board.

The only people hyping jabrill is the media. You can go back 8 weeks on the michigan football forums and find plenty of threads, with hundreds of replies in agreement, that he has some key liabilities.

As someone else said, he is being talked about only because the field sucks donkey dicks.

He shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Heisman. He hasn't warranted being in the discussion at any point this season, even with how bad the field is.

I agree, but who exactly should you be angry at? It's not peppers' fault that the media hypes him up. What can he do about it? Have a PC saying how overrated he is?

I said the hype is 100% the media's fault.
