Bruce Feldman's Top 20 'Freaks' in college football for 2016
1 Jarrad Davis, Florida, LB
Davis' "desire, drive and willpower are at the highest levels there is. Every rep he takes at practice or in a walkthrough is at a game-level focus. He's as intense of an individual as I've ever been around and one of the highest character kids as well." The 6-2, 240-pounder has timed in the 40 in the mid-4.5s and done 318 pounds in the clean and jerk
2 Freddie Tagaloa, Arizona, OT
3 Derrick Willies, Texas Tech, WR
4 Elijah Hood, North Carolina, RB
5 Jordan Williams, ECU, ILB
6 Patrick Morris, TCU, OG
7 Devante Mays, Utah State, RB
8 DeAngelo Brown, Louisville, DT
Arguably the strongest man in college football, the 6-1, 310-pound Brown is being counted on to become an even bigger force for the salty Cardinals defense. Last year, he had 40 tackles and 6.5 TFLs and made second-team All-ACC. Despite Brown’s stout frame, he still measured in at only 18 percent body fat, which is very low for a defensive tackle. In the weight room, Brown bench presses 515 pounds, squats 600 and hang cleans 325. More impressively, this offseason he benched 315 pounds 21 times
9 Brandon Wilson, Houston, CB
10 Zack Ryan, Ball State, LB
11 Daron Payne, Alabama, DT
12 Jabrill Peppers, Michigan, OLB-safety
A former state 100- and 200-meter champion from New Jersey, the 6-1, 208-pound Peppers has been the ultimate X-factor guy for the Wolverines and could be an even bigger factor in new DC Don Brown’s scheme. "He’s one of our best cover guys,” said Jim Harbaugh. “He’s our best nickel guy by far. He can play linebacker. ... He can rush the passer. He can cover anybody. Put him on the other side of the ball, he’d probably be our best slot receiver. He could give anybody a run for their money as our best tailback. He’s a Jim Thorpe type of guy. … I’d hate to diminish anyone but off the top of my head I can’t think of anyone (in college that I’ve coached) more athletic than Jabrill.”Peppers displayed his blazing speed this spring when he clocked a 4.34 40 last month.
