Marcus Peters Shows Rare Combination of Confidence, Competitiveness and Humility

Don’t call him quiet. He’s self-described as laid back.

That’s how Kansas City Chiefs first-round pick Marcus Peters characterizes his persona as he walks into the locker room—unassuming and respectful to those around him.

On the field, Peters has displayed the kind of playmaking ability through his first two games that made him one of the top talents in the 2015 NFL Draft, and his performance thus far has been anything but unassuming.

Peters currently leads the NFL with 7 passes defensed and is tied for the NFL lead with 2 interceptions, both of which came in storybook fashion.
