“Peterson plays like a low-test guy,” one NFL decision maker told PFW on the condition he remain anonymous, “but [if] he’s in ‘cat’ [man-to-man] coverage in the NFL, it’s not as big of an issue as it will be for offensive guys.”

“He’s a press corner,” another longtime evaluator said. “His strong suit is that he can run and press. He won’t play for the Patriots, where he’s disguising coverage after coverage, but I still think he can be a No. 1 shutdown corner.”
