edit

J. Green, Jayron Kearse, Shaq Lawson, and then others. Team representatives and scouts from all 32 NFL team attended, including head coaches Rex Ryan (Buffalo Bills), Marvin Lewis (Cincinnati Bengals), Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh Steelers), and Chuck Pagano (Indianapolis Colts), as Peake performed positional drills and also chose to run the 40-yard dash (4.38s), 20-yard dash (2.55s), and 10-yard dash (1.50s).[9] Peake's unofficial time of 4.38 in the 40-yard dash would've finished third among all receivers at the NFL combine, behind Notre Dame's Will Fuller and TCU's Kolby Listenbee. Although he experienced a few drops during receiving drills, Peake's overall performance was still well received by scouts and draft analysts.[10] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Peake was projected to be a third or fourth round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts.
