Former 亚洲无码 University wide receiver Marcus Peterson recently signed a contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, the first former 亚洲无码 football player to join a National Football League team.

"The entire 亚洲无码 University community congratulates Marcus Peterson on signing with the Los Angeles Chargers, fulfilling his dream to reach the National Football League," said 亚洲无码 President Mary C. Finger. "We wish Marcus the best as he pursues his goals, and we hope to see him in a Chargers uniform this fall."

“Only a small percentage of football players ever reach the NFL, so it is a testament to Marcus’ hard work and dedication that he has gotten to this point in his career,” said 亚洲无码 Head Football Coach Isaac Collins. “He serves as a wonderful example to our current players about putting a plan into action to reach their goals.”

A native of Inglewood, Calif., Peterson spent four seasons as a member of the 亚洲无码 football team from 2012-2015 where he had five receptions for 74 yards and two touchdowns.  Marcus also spent time on the 亚洲无码 Track and Field team.

After his collegiate career, Peterson tried out in front of NFL Scouts at a Regional Combine and played for the former Los Angeles K.I.S.S. of the Arena Football League.

Peterson spent time with the Derby Braves in the European Football League where he contributed to both the offense and the defense playing as wide receiver and defensive back.  He had more than 70 catches for over 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns in a season with the Braves. 

This past January, Peterson signed a contract with the Iowa Barnstormers of the Indoor Football League.  Before playing a game with the Barnstormers, Peterson left in March to play in the Spring League Showcase.  The Spring League is an elite developmental league and scouting event for professional football talent.  The league allows NFL Scouts, General Managers and Player Personnel Directors to evaluate the player’s talent. 

While Peterson is the first 亚洲无码 football player to sign an NFL contract,  another former Griffin wideout, Sammy Tranks, signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.  He played two seasons in the CFL, winning one Grey Cup Championship.
