Just prior to the 2019 trade deadline, the Baltimore Ravens traded a fifth-round draft pick and a backup linebacker for then 26-year-old cornerback Marcus Peters. They knew what they were getting — a first-team All-Pro with two Pro Bowls already on his resume.
They also knew they were taking a risk on a player with a checkered past.
Peters did his part, providing the Ravens with strong play down the stretch in 2019 — including picking off three passes and scoring two touchdowns in 10 games — resulting in Pro Football Focus ranking him as the fourth-best cornerback in 2019.
