Peters Compares Bradford To Rodgers

By Andrew Porter

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- I am fairly certainly Sam Bradford had never been compared to Aaron Rodgers, until this weekend.

"You'd have to compare the release to somebody like Aaron Rodgers' release," Peters said via Bob Grotz of the Delco Times. "The quickness. The decisiveness. That's what I see. I played with him in the Pro Bowl. The quickness of him getting rid of the ball, that's what I see."

Peters, 33, is a seven-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle and a leader of the Eagles. That is some hefty praise for his new quarterback.

"It's effortless," Peters said on Saturday. "I mean, it shoots out of his hand like a cannon. The guy has an arm, man. We've just got to keep him clean and good things are going to happen this year."

Bradford has only played in seven games the last two seasons with the Rams after back-to-back ACL tears. Chip Kelly gambled, by trading Nick Foles for the former No. 1 overall pick this offseason---and so far---Bradford has been impressive during training camp.
