DeCosta Nails Another With the Trade for Marcus Peters
During the 2015 NFL Draft the Ravens had the 26th overall pick. High on their draft board was Marcus Peters and the team believed that given the Washington cornerback’s off-the-field issues, he could slide down the board to them. Some draft publications even believed that Peters could slide out of Round 1 altogether despite talent that suggested otherwise.
In 2011, Peters flunked a drug test and he was suspended by the Huskies multiple times for academic reasons, run-ins with the coaching staff and for missing multiple practices during his final season (2014) at Washington.
