Scouting Report: Strengths
- Peoples keeps his pads low and consistently falls forward. Unlike most backs his size, Peoples has the lateral movement and stop-start ability to make defenders whiff. He has breakaway speed in the open field.
- He consistently falls forward, and he will also bounce off of or shake loose from a couple of tackles to turn minimal gains into big runs.
- Solid receiver in the flat, capable of running through tackles on the edge to move the chains. Flexible enough to catch passes thrown behind him.
- He would likely fit in any scheme, but he’s an interesting one-cut prospect considering the power and violence he brings once heading downfield.
- Peoples 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 he does; he’s especially effective on fly sweeps.
- North-South runner with good leg drive and physicality.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Peoples could stand to get smaller when squeezing through traffic.
- He isn’t particularly elusive. He runs a bit upright when picking through traffic, presenting a big target for tacklers.
- Peoples tends to get too upright at times, sacrificing power.
