Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on
the knee in nine months. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson
has played with dozens of cornerbacks over 12 years in the NFL.He admits that
none of them has been quite like Marcus Peters.The second-year pro has an
uncanny ability to read and react, to know where a pass is going seemingly
before the quarterback.Peters had two of the six interceptions of the Jets Ryan
Fitzpatrick in a 24-3 win on Sunday , his second straight two-pick game and the
highlight of an eight-turnover performance.Its not just Peters ability that
stands out, though.Ive played with a lot of really good corners, Johnson said,
but they were not as young as Marcus.Yes, the 23-year-old Peters is still a pup
in the grand scheme of things. But hes been playing like a bulldog since his
first game as a pro, when he picked off Houston quarterback Brian Hoyer.Peters
went on to intercept eight passes last regular season, earning the rookie a spot
in the Pro Bowl. He added another interception against the Texans in a 30-0
playoff romp last January, a victory that ended nearly two decades of postseason
futility for Kansas City.Heck, Peters even picked off a pass in the Pro
Bowl.Theyre going to have to stop throwing to his side or he is going to have
100 interceptions, Johnson said with a smile.Hes the ultimate competitor. Hes
harder on himself than anybody else. Thats the best thing about him, as a young
player -- he doesnt let anything slide.Peters hasnt exactly had a smooth road to
stardom.He was kicked off his team at Washington after a series of run-ins with
coaches, culminating with a blowup with coach Chris Petersen.The series of
events was a big reason he slid midway through the first round of the draft,
where Kansas City took him with the 18th overall pick.The Chiefs defended the
choice from the moment they made it, insisting they had done due diligence on
him.The Chiefs even sent a scout to Peters hometown of Oakland, California, in
the days before the draft to make sure they knew everything about him.What they
learned was that Peters had grown up. He had matured. He had become a father and
wanted to take care of his family. He learned from his mistakes and was ready to
move on.Peters has been a model teammate and citizen in Kansas City.Hes also
used his newfound stature to help push the movement spearheaded by 49ers
quarterback Colin Kaepernick for social equality.ddddddddddddIt was Peters who
raised a gloved fist during the national anthem before the season opener, a
homage to John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.Peters
described afterward what life is like in the predominantly black neighborhoods
where he grew up, and how he wants to affect change by reaching out to children
in the community.But his ability to do that will be determined in part by his
ability on the field, his ability to stay in the middle of the conversation. And
Peters has done nothing to diminish that in three games.He rallied after a poor
start against San Diego to shut down the Chargers receivers in the second half,
giving Kansas City a chance to rally for the biggest comeback win in franchise
history.The next week, he made Houston rue him once more with two interceptions
of Brock Osweiler.On Sunday, Peters was at it again with two interceptions
against the Jets.It was all about executing the game plan to a `T, Peters said.
We let our pass rush get there, we played underneath, we let our safeties play
over the top and we made plays.Sounds easy, right?Peters had the first of the
six interceptions, and also the first of four in the fourth quarter that sealed
the win. In between, things seemed to get a little contagious.Thats the beauty
of it, Peters said. When things are happening like they did, you enjoy it. You
embrace the opportunities that you have. You capitalize on them and have fun
doing it.Peters is far from flawless. He still boils over when things are going
against him. He tends to take too many chances, and gets beaten while trying to
bait quarterbacks into making a bad throw.But when he is picking off passes at
such a torrid clip, the Chiefs can deal with it.Listen, he has great abilities,
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. All the guys know that. They respect the job hes
done since hes been here. Hes a good football player, a heady football
player.Does he take chances sometimes? Yeah, he does, Reid said. But hes got a
short memory, which youve got to have there. He gets right back on it and
nothing gets him down.---Online: AP NFL website:
