GMs, scouts think Peterson will be a safety

Recommended Posts

Per Rotoworld.com:

 

Multiple scouts and GMs tell CBS Sports' Clark Judge that Patrick Peterson will likely end up at safety "in three to four years."

We've noticed in Peterson's games that he struggles in space, particularly when playing "off" receivers. He's far from a true shutdown corner when giving any kind of cushion. At 219 pounds, Peterson will immediately be the heaviest corner in the league. This isn't to say Peterson will be an ineffective player; he could be plenty dominant at free safety after the switch.

Well obviously he's not going to be perfect. That's what coaching is for! :laugh:

 

I think the media is blowing up Peterson's weight way out of proportion. He's going to be a cornerback, and a damn good one to top it off. His struggles when giving a cushion can be fixed with proper coaching.

If he is only going to be playing 3 years at the position he is drafted at... why the hell is he rated so high?

He won't be a safety he'll be a corner and like Fartwaffles said a damn good one.

I wonder if this reasoning is why Parcells has Amukamara rated above Peterson.

He's big but he's also both fast and quick. People have been comparing him and Antrel Rolle, but he's much more athletically gifted.
