Strong Safety. San Diego Chargers. Jabrill Peppers. 6. player. 13.

The San Diego Chargers need to get better on defense, and opponents’ passing games have been especially problematic for the Chargers secondary.

Michigan safety Jabrill Peppers is an immediate-impact player, who can play a variety of positions depending on where San Diego’s biggest needs are.

Peppers’ athleticism and awareness will help the Chargers cut down on their current 289.5 yards-per-game average through the air, which ranks 27th in the league.
