compact, productive Rutgers back with proven burst
Desmon Peoples brought value as a smaller all-purpose runner for Rutgers, and in the 2014 season he led the team with 447 rushing yards and three touchdowns while making four starts in the first 10 games of the regular season.[4] He was a 5-foot-8, 175-pound back and was ranked No. 645 nationally by 247Sports, with a profile built more on quickness and versatility than power.[3] For a team or program looking for a low-center-of-gravity runner who can compete for touches in space, he fits better as a change-of-pace option than a workhorse.[3][4]
