9. Marcus Peters, CB (Washington)

Marcus Peters is a physical cornerback who has the physical tool set to shut down an entire half of the field. He has the right size, he has ball skills, he is good in man coverage and he is a great tackler who makes a receiver work for every catch.

It sounds perfect doesn’t it. Well there are red flags everywhere around this player. Peters would actually be much higher on the list if he wasn’t such an unbelievable talent at the ever so valued cornerback position.

Peters was kicked off the Washington Huskies team because of his attitude. He has character concerns and it is no secret that he takes coaching about as well as a vending machine takes that crumpled dollar that was hiding in your wallet.

Peters is an emotional and immature player who lets his hot fuse get the best of him. He will draw penalties and he will get beat deep occasionally because he is a hot head.
