However, his coverage skills are way overrated. He's decent in coverage, nothing more.
That's a little harsh. He's good in coverage, but not elite. He's no Richard Sherman, Revis, or even Joe Haden

Peterson is a freak, 1 in 10 year type of talent CB. Size, speed, fluidity, hip movement, ball skill, etc. He has it all.
That said, hes still not there yet. He improves each year, but still makes mistakes right now. In a few years, when he peaks, he has a shot to be on the same level as PrimeTime. I doubt he will be truly better though. Primetime is the best cover CB of all time. Period. People see Peterson and see his freak talent and the fact that hes nowhere near being topped out and think 1 day he COULD possibly be as good as Sanders. The question is,will he get there?
And, its not just Peterson that has a shot to be on the same level as Sanders. Richard Sherman is already a better cover CB than Peterson, but I think hes already playing at his top level talent wise, while Peterson is still improving and hasnt maxed out yet. Also, a CB that nobody really talks about that is 1 of the best true cover CBs in the NFL today is Joe Haden. If he was on a better team than the Browns, he would be recognized as a top 3 cover CB in the NFL. Kid is a stud.
Top 2 CBs of all time IMO are Deion Sanders as the best, and 2nd best is Champ Bailey. Just my opinion though.

He is talked about like he is.
I think he's a great player, but he's really nothing special in coverage.

He may not be Revis, but he graded higher than Sherman or Haden by Pro Football Focus last year.
People who think he can't cover are just holding over his rookie year against him, IMO. He was outstanding last year.
