1975 Profile: Floyd Peters

Defensive Line Coach
"Peters returns to the NFL after serving for three years as the chief scout for the Miami Dolphins in the 13-state Western area.
Floyd played 12 years in the NFL as a defensive tackle with the Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins, and had outstanding years with the Eagles, winning All-Eastern Conference honors in 1964, 1966 and 1967. He played in the Pro Bowl in each of those years and was selected as the Defensive MVP in the 1966 game.
The 6-4, 250-pounder earned four letters as a tackle for San Francisco State and was named to the Little All-American team in 1957. A No. 8 draft choice of Baltimore in 1958, he concluded his career in 1970 as a player-coach with the Redskins. During his playing days as a defensive tackle, Peters had three pass interceptions for 12 yards returned.
Floyd was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa then moved to California, where he starred at John Swett High School in Crockett, CA. He was a stockbroker in San Francisco prior to joining the Giants."
