Corey Peters's scheme fit centers on a versatile defensive tackle who can thrive in multiple defensive fronts, leveraging his size and athleticism in either a one-gap or two-gap system.
His Year 1 role projects as a rotational interior lineman, with a ceiling to become a versatile starter capable of impacting both pass rush and run defense.
He would be a poor fit in a specialized nickel defense that primarily seeks undersized, explosive interior rushers, as his strength is in his versatility and run-stopping ability.
Peters's blend of size, strength, and surprising quickness allows him to be a valuable asset in most defensive systems, especially those that prioritize stout run defense and interior disruption.
Selected #83 overall in Round 3 of the 2010 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of Kentucky.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
