Patriots defensive back Jabrill Peppers has seen more than his fair share of bad football in his professional travels.
After helping turn Michigan around in coach Jim Harbaugh’s early years, Peppers spent his rookie year with the 0–16 Browns in 2017. After Cleveland improved in 2018, it traded him to the Giants, where he suffered through three losing seasons.
Since 2022, he has been with New England for two of the worst years of coach Bill Belichick's illustrious career. Peppers's frustration seemingly boiled over Sunday, when he was caught telling Giants running back Saquon Barkley he was “lucky we ass” after a 10–7 loss.
