Updates On Every Former Michigan Wolverine In The NFL: Week Four

Former Michigan football safety Jabrill Peppers scored his first NFL touchdown — and the cherry on top was that it came off an interception of a former Ohio State star. The New York Giants strong safety picked off Dwayne Haskins in the third quarter to provide his team's final touchdown in a 24-3 win. He also posted six tackles (second most on his team) and defended an additional pass.

Peppers was one of two former Wolverines included on Pro Football Focus' (PFF) Team of the Week, along with Detroit Lions guard Graham Glasgow.

Video of Peppers' and updates on every other former Wolverine in the NFL, including a second straight game with a sack for Taco Charlton and an outstanding Monday night performance from Devin Bush Jr., are below:
