ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jabrill Peppers may be on the field for up to 100 plays a game this season for Michigan.On defense, Peppers will move closer to the line at times as a linebacker and hell be a defensive back on some snaps. He will play in the slot, in the backfield and might even take some snaps on offense.And when the Wolverines need a boost on special teams, they will lean on Peppers to return punts and kickoffs.Peppers is game for all of it.Whatever we got to do to win, he said Sunday, a day before the teams first practice.If someone asks what position Peppers plays, what would he say?I just say, `Im an athlete, he said.Coach Jim Harbaugh said Peppers wont be the only three-way player on the team, expecting cornerback Jourdan Lewis to spend some time on offense along with his usual duties on special teams.I dont know why they havent been letting Jourdan play both plays, Peppers said. Jourdan is one of the craziest athletes Ive ever seen. ... I hope they give him a shot.With Peppers, the Wolverines will attempt to find the right balance between taking advantage of his versatile talent and not wearing him out.Somewhere in there, theres a sweet spot, Harbaugh said. In terms of load, 95, 100 (plays) is probably the max were looking for.On some snaps, Peppers will be on the field simply as a decoy to distract defenses.Thats the best part of everything, he said. Thats where I can work on my acting.Peppers said he was on the field for 96 plays last season at Minnesota. Against Ohio State, he had a career-high seven carries, caught two passes and threw one, along with making five tackles.He didnt play in Michigans win over Florida in the Citrus Bowl because of an injury to his right hand.How did he hurt his hand?Thats going to be forever undisclosed, Peppers said with a chuckle. Im good now, though.Peppers said he has added eight pounds -- and the extra weight appears to be all muscle -- and is probably faster than he was last year.Whats his fastest 40-yard dash?4.31, he said.Offensive coordinator Tim Drevno, who was a San Francisco 49ers assistant coach for Harbaugh, has been around a lot of great athletes and said Peppers ranks among the best of them.Hes one of the most explosive, dynamic players Ive ever been around, Drevno said. Hes in a league with the Frank Gores, Michael Crabtrees and Vernon Davises.Drevno wishes he could have Peppers on the field for every snap, but he knows his day job, so to speak, is on defense. On the roster, Peppers is listed as a linebacker and defensive back. Defensive coordinator Don Brown said it isnt fair to say his position is linebacker or a hybrid.Were going to give this guy a lot to do, Brown said.Based on Peppers upbringing in New Jersey, hes thankful to be where he is, playing football for a storied program and attending a famed university. Peppers father went to prison when Jabrill was 7 and didnt get out until his was 14, he wrote last year in The Players Tribune, and his older brother, Don, was shot and killed at the age of 14.People where Im from, they dont have this opportunity, he said, surrounded by a pack of reporters and cameras at Michigans media day. This alone, Ive made it from my circumstance. What I do here is show guys there are other ways to get where you want to be without following the usual statistical path that people where Im from follow.---Follow AP College Football coverage at http://collegefootball.ap.org/ and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Larry Lage at http://www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage Khris Middleton Bucks Jersey . 1 position.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jersey . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. It is often the finest of margins that differentiate the good from the great. For a while, it looked as though Ariya Jutanugarn was headed for the former.But after becoming the first golfer from Thailand -- male or female -- to win a major championship, it seems as though there is nothing stopping her from eventually evolving into a master of the game.Born to parents who own a golf pro shop in Bangkok, Jutanugarn picked up the sport when she was only 5 and started to raise eyebrows when she broke Michelle Wies record as the youngest player to qualify for an LPGA Tour event.That happened in 2007 when she qualified for the Honda LPGA Thailand at the age of 11 years, 11 months and two days. Her mark stood until Lucy Li played her way into the 2014 U.S. Womens Open.From then on, it seemed only a matter of time before Jutanugarn would crack the big time, especially given her aggressive and bold approach.She went on to win the U.S. Girls Junior Championship in 2011 and was a two-time American Junior Golf Association Player of the Year, but the first real resistance to her rise came in 2013 due to a shoulder injury brought about by a freak accident.Following surgery, Jutanugarn embarked on the long road to recovery, but she then approached her next hurdle in the form of a disappointing 2015, where she missed the cut at ten consecutive tournaments.The turning point looked to have arrived at the first major of 2016, when she held a two-stroke lead with three holes remaining at the ANA Inspiration, only for a stunning collapse that saw her close with successive bogeys and ultimately finish fourth.Still only 20 at the time, and with the possibility of yet another futile year ahead, she could have buckled under the pressure.ddddddddddddBut Jutanugarn is made of sterner stuff.Just three weeks after that meltdown, she landed her first LPGA Tour title when she won the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic.A fortnight later, she won the Kingsmill Championship and, immediately after, another triumph arrived in the form of the LPGA Volvik Championship. That made her the first player in LPGA history to win her first three titles in consecutive starts.With no more doubts hanging over her, Jutanugarn then claimed the biggest prize of her career thus far, producing four rounds of consistent and composed golf to win the Ricoh Womens British Open by three strokes.The victory capped off a stunning turnaround in fortunes, but it appears that the secret to her success was little more than a mind trick.In several interviews, Jutanugarn has said that she now focuses on being happy even before she hits a shot and is more in control of her emotions.Being destined for a sport from a young age is one thing, but learning to love it is another.Since that major triumph, Jutanugarn, now 21, claimed the Canadian Pacific Womens Open and finished the year ranked No. 2 in the world while topping the money list with over US$2.5 million in winnings.She will head into 2017 brimming with belief and confidence.Only time will tell what she ultimately achieves in her career, although there can be no denying that Jutanugarn has taken the correct direction after approaching a fork in the road -- and is now on the path to greatness.
