Size-and-edge-pressure DE with proven backfield disruption
Tyler Peppers is a long, physical edge defender who came to UAB as a 6-5, 230-pound freshman after a senior year that produced 39 tackles, 4 sacks, and 7 quarterback hurries, which points to a player who can collapse pockets and finish plays in the backfield[3]. His recruiting profile listed him at 6-4, 217 with a 5.01 forty, suggesting more power-and-motor value than pure speed off the edge[2]. He stands out as a developmental fit for teams that want effort, length, and disruptive upside rather than just raw stat production[2][3].
