Scouting Report: Strengths
- His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
- A technician with a high motor, Peebles has a variety of moves and displays exceptionally good hand use. Peebles shows a strong finishing burst and has the power to hold at the point of attack as a run defender.
- His hand use is excellent; he’s strong in the upper body and consistently swats away blockers.
- He has a wide base and a low center of gravity to hold his ground, as well as the upper-body strength to shed blockers.
- He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. Peebles plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
- Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which he uses with impressive precision.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s a straight-line mover who doesn’t have the range to chase in pursuit.
- Peebles is on the short side, and Peebles too often relies on his ability to overpower blockers rather than developing a repertoire of pass-rush moves.
- Average athletically with average straight line speed and tight hips. Not a natural bender. Lacks secondary pass-rush moves.
