The playing on offense thing is more of a gimmick Michigan used because their offense was so anemic. You could put lots of top end college DBs and small LBs on offense in college and they would have similar production.

In passing downs I could see teams playing Peppers at LB and matching him up on TE and RB.  He covered WR's in college. I disagree that you could put any top end DB a small LB on offense in college and they would have similar production, teams would do it if they could. It isn't pro where they are so worried about the players getting injured.  Peppers could probably play RB in the NFL if he wanted to and be good at it.  He has great vision, speed, cut back ability, and can probably catch.  Look at Ty Montgomery in GB.  I think Peppers will make a reallly good SS though and the kick and punt return ability is a plus.  I highly doudt he falls to the 2nd but Jack did last year and if Peppers did this year and we didn't draft a safety in the first I wouldn't think twice about drafting him.
