Jabrill Peppers talks about his time playing “angel” in Cleveland (Chris Pokorny): “Browns fans felt that same pain, as it became a running gag about how Williams would line safeties up so far back. It was supposedly to help prevent a big passing play, but it was done so frequently and it took away the possible strengths that a guy like Peppers had for drafting him — being effective near the line of scrimmage, if necessary.”

That contract extension looks like a bargain now, and don’t sleep on Njoku getting yet another new deal done next offseason if he continues in his dominant ways.”
