Marcus Peters Dismissed: Latest Details, Analysis and Reaction
Cornerback Marcus Peters has all the makings of an NFL star, but the star junior's character may come into question as he was dismissed from the University of Washington's football team Thursday.
According to Adam Jude of The Seattle Times, the 2013 second-team All-Pac-12 selection was kicked off the team following an argument with an assistant coach during Wednesday's practice.
Peters was already suspended for one game earlier in the season due to a sideline outburst, and Jude reports that he has been at odds with head coach Chris Petersen all year.
Petersen later issued a statement on Peters, via Jude:
While all signs already pointed toward Peters entering the 2015 NFL draft, this situation cements it, per Bleacher Report's Matt Miller:
Although it is fair to wonder if NFL teams will be wary of Peters due to his inability to get along with the Huskies coaching staff, Miller reports that it shouldn't be a concern moving forward:
Peters has three interceptions this season after accruing a total of eight in his freshman and sophomore campaigns combined. He is a true ball hawk, and he will garner plenty of attention as the draft draws closer.
There is no doubt that his collegiate career has reached a less-than-ideal conclusion, but his elite talent level should prevent him from dropping too far on draft boards.
