Scouting Report: Strengths
- Peterson has very good vision and a knack for picking out cut-back lanes and then breaking offchunks of yardage.
- He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
- He has the straight-line speed to outrun angles, and his flexibility allows him to turn the corner on the perimeter and stay near top speed as Peterson does; he’s especially effective on fly sweeps.
- Very physical runner; keeps his legs churning on contact. Rarely goes down with the first hit. Lowers shoulder into defenders and shows pure determination with natural running skills to break free and stiff-arm and spin move to dodge tacklers.
- His stop-start ability in traffic, exceptional balance, lateral agility and body control allow him to squeeze out chunks of yardage when it appears that nothing is there.
- He’s patient, letting blocks develop then accelerating. He runs with a good forward lean and consistently falls forward.
- Peterson moves at a different speed than most of the players on the field. His initial burst and acceleration once the ball is in his hands are special.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Peterson could stand to get smaller when squeezing through traffic.
- He doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- Peterson sometimes get too upright and fails to run behind his pads.
