Although here at NFL Breakdowns, we are here to objectively evaluate Peters as a prospect for one of 32 NFL teams; we’ll leave the character questioning to the NFL teams.

- Being a “bigger” CB, Peters has incredible strength on the outside with WR’s at the line.
- In press-man coverage, you will rarely see a WR get off the line free or easily
- Peter is good at disrupting the route or taking the WR out of the play completely with his initial jam.
- He is a very instinctual CB, relying a lot of what he sees and then trying to make a play.
- In off-coverage, or zone coverage, he seems to struggle. He tends to get lost in space a lot of the time, stuck between which route he should be covering.
