The six-foot-two, 220-pound cover man went unselected in the 2019 NFL Draft following a four-year college career at Mississippi State. He signed with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent but was released shortly after with an injury settlement.

Peters signed a futures contract with the Falcons back in January.
