Marcus Peters, CB, Chiefs (1st round, 18th overall) We’ll just start calling Marcus Peters “Mr. Pick-Six.” Peters has wasted no time putting his elite ball skills to use, leading all rookies with three picked off passes, including a pick-six off of Peyton Manning that I’m sure he will never forget.
Peyton threw like he expected Demaryius to sit instead of break. Peters did make a nice break too. Merry X-Mas Marcus pic.twitter.com/7qc9dLIVKm

Peters is a budding star in this league, though he has had his share of ‘welcome to the NFL’ moments. Calvin Johnson will make that happen…
This double move by Calvin Johnson on Marcus Peters is nasty. Stafford with a clean pocket overthrew him 😐 pic.twitter.com/fj4gDEDByT
