NFL CAREER – This fifth-year pro has played in 55 career regular season contests with 50 starts at four (left guard, left tackle, right guard, right tackle) of five positions on the offensive line in his first four seasons. During the 2018 season, Peat settled in at left guard, but continued to display his versatility by filling in where needed on the offensive line. He appeared in 13 games with 13 starts and both postseason contests, with one at left tackle and 14 at left guard. He was named to his first Pro Bowl. In 2019, Peat looks to continue to be a flexible resource for the Saints offensive line.
