Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Camerun Peoples

Camerun Peoples Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook

Peoples has stiff hips and looks lumbering at times, getting up to second gear. He does display sufficient lateral agility flashing the occasional jump cut. Peoples won’t be a home run hitter, but in a gap scheme, he can get you the consistent 4-7 yards with some chunk plays sprinkled in. He invites contact and has no qualms about lowering this shoulder to bulldoze a tackler. Peoples has a strong lower half that allows him to push the pile. He runs angry, a physical grinder back.

Peoples feels like a future Patriot or Raven. It would work best to drop him into a scheme that utilizes gap runs with regularity and let him get downhill and punish the second level.

Camerun Peoples 2023 NFL Draft Outlook

Peoples is a big, physical running back who is smoother and has more burst than usual for a player with his size but whose production declined in each of the past two seasons. He currently offers little value in the passing game, either as a receiver or blocker. His stock will depend to some extent on medical evaluations after appearing in just nine games this past year. However, he has the raw talent to compete for a short-yardage role relatively early and potentially end up as the power back in a committee.
