Scouting Report: Jason Peters
Jason Peters
Jason Peters

Posted Oct 26, 2002


There are always novelties in college football that seem to catch wind; the offensive guard moved to fullback or the defensive tackle pushed back to middle linebacker. Some are legitimate for the next level, most are not. It seems Arkansas may be molding one that will have good results in the NFL.

Full Name:  Jason Peters     School:  Arkansas

Ht:6-4   Wt: 290    40: 4.98 

Year:  3So       Number: 80

Stats/ Bio:

2001: He saw action in games and started three games at tight end.  Led the team in tight end receptions with 3/45/15.  Registered three tackles including one tackle for loss (-2) on the defensive line.  

2000: Worked on the scout team until suffering a separated right shoulder in a scrimmage and underwent surgery.

Scouting Report

The Good:  Massive prospect slowly turning into a complete tight end.  Former defensive lineman and a good athlete that breaks down well, blocks with a wide base and plays with leverage.  Strong at the point of attack and gets movement from his run blocks.  Uses his body to shield away opponents, displays excellent focus and catches the ball well.  Moves well for such a big man and displays a surprising ability to go up against athletic opponents and come down with the pass.  

The Bad: Not quick off the snap, nifty and does more rumbling than running.  

The Skinny: The arrow is pointing up for him and a player with a good amount of upside to his game.
