Per Pro Football Focus, life just got a lot harder on NFC West quarterbacks

By now you’ve probably heard the news: the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs have agreed on a deal that will send cornerback Marcus Peters to LA. The terms have not yet been disclosed.

This news comes as a surprise to many, including Chiefs’ players themselves, who, according to rumors, aren’t that thrilled at the prospect of losing an extremely talented, and very young player in their secondary.

In the event you’re not familiar with what Peters has accomplished in his first three seasons in the NFL, Pro Football Focus sums it up pretty nicely in just two tweets. And despite the fact that this ultimately points to the end of the road for Trumaine Johnson, this trade provides Wade Phillips with a new toy. A shutdown corner.

Since his rookie season (2015) Peters has a total of 19 interceptions and 31 pass breakups — a figure good for best in the NFL.

How does he stand up in coverage, you ask? Not too shabby. No corner in the NFL has done it better.

It’ll be interesting to see how this all shakes out for Trumaine Johnson. But, for now, it appears the Rams have done a fine job of filling the void; and for a player who will earn $1.7M in the upcoming year.
