Safety Dan Peters, Shepherd University


Maybe the best NFL Prospect in America you have never heard of. Division II All-American Safety Dan Peters from Shepherd University. Peters is 6-1 207 pounds and is an incredible ball-hawk. Peters' 32 career interceptions are a WVIAC record and second all-time in Division II. The talented senior is the first player in collegiate football history to repeat as a national interception champion. Peters recorded 12 interceptions last season (2005) and an amazing 14 interceptions this year (2006).

This has been quite the season for Peters, recording 69 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 7 pass break-ups to go along with his myriad of pick-offs. He has been named to every first team All-American Team under the sun, D2football.com, AP Little All-American and Daktronics.

Peters has a rare blend of size and speed, he obviously has ball skills and if he has a blazing run during his predraft (Pro Day) workout, could possibly fit into the 2007 NFL Draft.
