This year has been nothing short of amazing for Marcus Peters. Week after week he has shown us why he's the best Cornerback in the 2015 NFL draft class. So let's just take a step back to take a look at his journey to stardom. He was a standout player at The University of Washington, who showed promise and natural ball skills. As time progressed it was clear he had the talent to play at the next level. He hit a slight bump in the road when he was dismissed off of the team for disciplinary issues. As a result his draft stock fell, which caused him to be the 3rd Cornerback to be drafted in the 2015 NFL draft.
The teams who passed on him made an enormous mistake. Marcus Peters is by far the best defensive rookie this year, even with the other tremendous players in his draft class. The position that he plays is such a hot commodity in the NFL, every team needs a corner that they can depend on week in and week out. Marcus is isolated every week against the best wide receiver. He was challenged very early by all quarterbacks he faced for the simple fact of him being a rookie. As a result of him being tested, he obtained a NFL rookie record of 8 interceptions and led the NFL in passes defensed and targeted plays.
He, like any other player in the NFL has weaknesses. His Kryptonite is fast shifty receivers who sometimes gives him trouble on the line when going for short quick routes like slants. The good thing about Marcus is, he has the ability to adjust during the game, which is going to make him great. This gives him an edge and he sets himself apart from the other players in his class because of this. His development of a corner is impressive because swiftly. Throughout the first half of the season he gave up 8 touchdowns, which isn't great for a corner, but after that week he has only allowed one touchdown, this really shows the quick adjustments he made mid season to make him a threat to Quarterbacks of all schemes.
He is an impulsive corner who thrives in man to man coverage, he has the talent to be the best corner in the league if he continues to work on his craft. As a rookie he made the Pro Bowl and Second team All-Pro, which is just ridiculous when you look at it. The Feats this young star has accomplished shouldn't be taken lightly as he is just beginning his stint toward greatness. The secondary in which he is apart of is among the best in the league if not the best in the league, and they will nurture him into the superstar he deserves to be. Quarterbacks should watch out because he just bought an island and it isn't going up for foreclosure anytime soon.
