NFL Draft Prospect: Patrick Peterson

Prospect: Patrick Peterson
Position: Cornerback
School: LSU
Class: Junior
Height: 6-1
Weight: 220

Strengths: Peterson has phenomenal athleticism for a cornerback and is the best in this years' class by far at his position. He is a physical corner which can cause disruptions for the receiver, quarterback, and offense as a whole. He is a ball hawk who can come out of anywhere to make an interception and change the game completely. He is the best lockdown corner in the nation and has the potential to be an a Darrelle Revis type player. He is quick off the ball and can change directions at a very high pace, making it very difficult for the receiver to run a good route on him.

Weaknesses: Peterson has the tendency to over pursue or over anticipate on throws and routes. That causes him to get in trouble and allow easy catches for the receiver. It also disrupts the defense because it is forced to over compensate for Peterson's mistake. He sometimes is to physical at points but I am not really sure if that is a bad thing?

Overall Analysis: Bottom line on Peterson is that he may be the best pro prospect since Darrelle Revis. He is going to be a huge difference maker on whatever team he goes to and will most certainly make an immediate impact. He has the ability to play corner or safety at the pro level.
