Julius
Peppers, only a Junior may be the most feared defender in the entire country.
He combines fine athleticism with a nasty attitude. He is the closest thing
UNC's had to Lawrence Taylor since Taylor graduated.
PROS:
He has great
size, speed and athleticism. He is also a Power Forward so you know he
has some height and leaping ability. Peppers plays this game with a passion
and hits with authority. His specialty is rushing the passer but he is
by no means one dimensional. He has the size and strength to match up versus
the run.
CONS:
ummm.....umm.
He really doesn't have any. He's going to have to learn to fight double
teams and backers chipping him but he doesn't bear a noticeable flaw at
the moment.
FINAL WORD:
He says he's coming out after this year so that means the NFL better watch
out. He's every bit the prospect Courtney Brown was. A franchise player
who might go #1. |
