Scouting Report: Strengths
- Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
- He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
- Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which Peterson uses with impressive precision.
- Peterson can set the edge in the run game with his stout build and strong core, and he has the powerful arms to shed blockers.
- Rarely goes to the ground, showing good balance from his high school wrestling days.
- Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s stiff as an athlete, as Peterson lacks the flexibility to truly threaten the edge.
- Good strength, though his marginal arm length limits his ability to grab hold of ballcarriers as they run by.
- Peterson doesn’t show much in the way of dynamic change-of-direction ability on counter moves, and he also has a limited repertoire of pass-rushing moves.
