Safety Jabrill Peppers made it clear that the New England Patriots coaching staff drew him to the team in free agency. During a meeting with the reporters, he referenced his desire to learn from Bill Belichick. But it wasn’t just Belichick. Peppers wanted to keep working with his former head coach with the New York Giants: Joe Judge.
Judge and Peppers spent a few years together, but coincidentally, their time in New York came to an end simultaneously, with the Giants firing Judge and Peppers’ contract expiring. They both ended up in New England.
In 2022, Judge won’t have as much time to coach Peppers. Judge, who was a special teams coordinator before joining the Giants, is working on the offensive side of the ball in New England.
