James Peter wants to share his life story, the path he’s taken, with coaches and football evaluators at this week’s CFL Combine in Edmonton.
“I’ve gone through some traumatic experiences. When you face those experiences, it can make you a more resilient football player where you’re able to overcome anything.”
When he was younger, Peter, who also played running back, had to battle the perception he was too small to play football. “I love hitting people,” he said. “It’s not that I don’t like blocking, but if I wasn’t getting the ball and had to block nine out of 10 times, I’d be kind of frustrated. As a linebacker, nine out of 10 times I can run downhill and smoke somebody. I play with passion, I play with heart. I find people don’t take you seriously until they really get smacked in the mouth.”
The turning point for Peter came a couple of years back, when everything came to a near standstill during the early stages of the pandemic.
