Peterson joins two former Cardinals as legends to announce picks. In addition to Peterson, John Abraham, who played for the Cardinals in 2013 and part of 2014, will make the Day 2 announcements for the New York Giants. It is the 25th anniversary of the 2000 draft, when Abraham was drafted.

Peterson, who spent the 2023 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was still looking to play for a team in 2024 but didn't get picked up. He said that he thinks he's still capable of playing cornerback in the NFL, but would rather enjoy all that comes with retirement.

One of the greatest cornerbacks of the 2010s is hanging up the cleats for good, as Patrick Peterson announced on Monday that he is retiring as a member of the Arizona Cardinals. The 34-year-old defensive back was selected by Arizona with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft out of LSU, and spent 10 seasons with Arizona from 2011-2020.
