Peterson is a big time playmaker.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson locked down receivers for three years in the NFL. In return, PP21 locked up a monster extension.

Peterson tweeted that he signed a lucrative five-year, $70 Million ($48 Million guaranteed) deal.

Happy to announce my 5 year extension with @AZCardinals! $70M and $48M Guaranteed!! #AZCardinals#P2Nation#YearOfTheCardinal

Peterson’s shutdown ability is rare. The 6’0″, 220-pound LSU product is very fluid, which is extremely beneficial when covering shifty receivers.

Two days ago, AZCentral.com noted that Peterson’s return duties and appearances on offense are over. Recently, Peterson inked a deal with Under Armour.
