Cornerback Patrick Peterson’s feet give him the speed to chase down receivers. His long arms allow him to bat away balls just before they find their target. His powerful, chiseled frame creates havoc at the line of scrimmage. NFL scouts clamor for Peterson, a potential first-round pick in next year’s draft. Coaches and teammates have a hard time explaining how a man so big — 6-foot-1, 222 pounds — can cover so much ground. At an LSU workout in the spring, Peterson covered the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds, the best time of his college career. “With my physicality, my size and my speed, I believe I can keep up with any receiver out there,” Peterson said. – The Advocate of Baton Rouge
