Performed well at the Scouting Combine during the workout and positional drills when he was used at linebacker. POSITIVES: Athletic defender who must now learn to play off the line of scrimmage. In a three point stance Peek is quick off the snap, keeps his pads low and feet driving up the field. Wedges through blocks, quickly alters his angle of attack and gets to the flanks.
