Peppers was used as a "force" player at Michigan similar to how the Vikings use Harrison Smith.
His primary role was to set the edge from the secondary and force the offense to deal with the middle of Michigan's front 7.
Michigan's Lbers didnt have the speed to contain runs to the outside, so Peppers willingly took on the role as an extra linebacker/force player when asked by their Defensive coordinator.
He was damn good at it.
