Marcus Peters, University of Washington Huskies star cornerback was drafted Thursday night by the Kansas City Chiefs with the 18th overall pick.
The Washington standout/ne’er-do-well, blessed with dangerous streaks of ability and a temper to match will join a crowded defensive backfield in KC. Peters, rated by many NFL front offices to be the most complete cornerback in the draft also had a career full of attitude and problems off of the field.
Marcus was dismissed from the Huskies football team in November, by first year head coach Chris Peterson. Since then he has done sufficient damage control to rehabilitate his image in the eyes of some NFL scouts and front office types.
