Andrus Peat’s ascension into the starting lineup wasn’t created by force or will.
Peat didn’t get his chance and run away with it or immediately start opening up eyes, causing people to question why he wasn’t serving in this role all along. Maybe this will end up being like the Terron Armstead story, but it still isn’t clear how Peat’s situation will end up.
Peat kind of fell into serving as the Saints’ left guard. It was a move created more out of necessity and curiosity than him grossly outperforming another player and climbing over them on the depth chart.
