Peppers is now firmly entrenched as a Heisman Trophy candidate. What Peppers has been able to do thus far, what his ceiling is as a player in all three phases of the game... he very well could be one of the Heisman finalists headed to New York City in December. But for now, what a great week that is capped off with being recognized as a Walter Camp Player of the Week.
