To the surprise of absolutely no one.

"It concludes Peppers' agent selection process, which included his mother's delivery of a forty-one question document to all NFL agents itching for the chance to represent her son."

Good. But this is something I feel Michigan should help players with in case. We should have a standard, no credit hours, shorts seminar series for athletes that starts with watching that 30 for 30, Broke, then gets into details of everything athletes wish they knew before graduating. They should send a survey to past athletes, those that went pro and those that didn't, ask them what they wish they knew, and go from there. Each player shopping for an agent should have a list like this handed to them from Michigan as a starting point for this sort of thing.

They should just give them Marlin Jackson's phone number. He's the CEO of Prepare to Succeed and their goal is exactly what you lay out. From LinkedIn:

I'm told by #Michigan sources -- @forbes report on @JabrillPeppers is "false." Time will tell if it's just premature, but I was told "false"
1:07 PM - 3 Jan 2017

So he's probably still going pro, but Sam Webb is saying this report from Forbes is false.

Maybe it's some agent scheme trying to influence who he signs with...

...or maybe Pepper's mom's survey has 42 questions.

Funny how I haven't made any decisions on my future. This is a complete false report.

This is going to be one of the hardest decisions in my life. If you haven't heard anything from the UofM or myself, it's FALSE. Thank You��
