The New England Patriots group of safeties are not lacking in depth or versatility. The team added safety Jabrill Peppers in free agency on a one-year contract on Tuesday, per multiple reporters.
Peppers is no sure thing to make the roster, but he was a four-down player for the New York Giants in 2021 before suffering an ACL injury when he was working for former Giants coach and current Patriots offensive assistant Joe Judge. Peppers will join safeties Devin McCourty, Adrian Phillips and Kyle Dugger, among others. It’s an absolutely stacked group — even if the Patriots may need to add more at the cornerback position where they lost JC Jackson but added Malcolm Butler and Terrance Mitchell in free agency.
Here’s how Patriots fans reacted to the addition of Peppers.
