Game Film Evaluated:

Oregon (2014)               

Vs Jalen Strong (2014)

Pros: He is a bump and run type of corner, he wants to press man. . Lined up on the nose of Jaelen Strong, a top WR prospect, for most of the game and did not back down. He jammed him at every opportunity. Effective sniper corner blitzer who times it well and takes shortest path to the ball.

Cons: Will get caught peeking in the backfield and letting his receiver get behind him. Questionable effort player, a spectator when it comes to tackling, rarely wants to get into the action. Does not break down in space to make the tackle in space, he will miss consistently but has got to learn to stop the contact after 5 yards as he will be flagged constantly in the NFL. Gets his hands on a lot of passes but misses far too many interceptions. On and off the field concerns regarding his attitude, out of control attitude but does not use it toward encouraging team.

Summary: Marcus Peters is a conflicting prospect, he has good size and plays a physical game who likes to mix it up with receivers and doesn’t shy away from the best. I am concerned about a lack of on field desire to make tackles, misses interceptions consistently that he should bring down and then his overall attitude can hurt the team. His film suggest a middle 1^st round pick but the attitude is a huge turn off which lowers his grade to a mid 2^nd round pick. He is not a shutdown type corner, he will fit best as a Seahawks type press man corner with a good pass rush for support.
