Zach Peterson brings veteran Furman reliability and red-zone savvy to the Paladins offense
In the 2021 season, Zach Peterson was a healthy, experienced Furman wideout who had already started five games before a late injury briefly knocked him out, signaling a player the staff trusted on the field. He’s a strong-fit receiver if you want a steady, seasoned target with program familiarity and NFL bloodlines—his father, Todd Peterson, played 12 seasons in the NFL, which doesn’t catch passes, but it does hint at pedigree. Peterson’s differentiator is reliability over flash: a polished, system-educated WR who can handle meaningful snaps and won’t flinch when the game gets a little spicy.
