Top pick Peat starting to round into shape

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Andrus Peat is starting to look more and more like a first-round pick with each passing day.

Peat’s transformation has been simple.

The big tackle from Stanford finally has his legs under him.

“I’m feeling good as my legs are starting to get in shape with time,” Peat said.

Peat, who is carrying roughly 320 pounds on his 6-foot-7 frame, said the NFL’s pre-draft circuit of visits and appearances cut into his normal offseason conditioning regimen.

A little sluggish through the first week of camp, Peat often struggled in pass protection early, unable to get into his stance quickly against speed rushers and often off balance.
