Andrus Peat • New Orleans Saints

CHICAGO – Andrus Peat was selected 13th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints.

Peat is Stanford’s latest first-round pick, the 21st in program history and first since 2012, when Andrew Luck (first) and David DeCastro (24th) were selected in the opening round.

Peat is the fifth Stanford offensive lineman drafted in the last four years and the Cardinal unit’s highest pick since 1992, when Bob Whitfield was chosen with the eighth overall pick in the first round by the Atlanta Falcons.

A native of Chandler, Arizona, the offensive tackle was an All-American in 2014 and is working on his degree in psychology.

As a junior in 2014, Peat started all 13 games at left tackle for an offensive line that ranked 18th nationally in tackles for loss allowed (4.62/game) and 42nd in sacks allowed (1.77/game). He was named All-America by the AP, Walter Camp, CBS, SI.com and ESPN.com. Peat also was an All-Pac-12 performer and quarterfinalist for the Outland Trophy.

During his sophomore campaign, Peat made 14 starts at left tackle on the one of the nation’s most productive offensive lines. The unit helped Stanford rank 22nd in rushing (207.4 yards/game), 11th in sacks (1.14/game) and seventh in tackles for loss allowed (4.14/game). Peat was named SI.com All-America honorable mention and All-Pac-12 second team. He was also selected Stanford’s Most Outstanding Sophomore (Deswarte-Ellar Award).

One of three freshmen offensive linemen to see playing time, Peat appeared in 13 games in 2012 and averaged 20 snaps per game.
