Along with his loved ones, the former Bengals and Broncos newcomer is spending some time in sunny Southern California and that he would not mind heading back there on a more permanent basis.
“I’d love to play in L.A.,” said Peko, who started all 16 games for the Broncos in 2018 with 31 tackles tallied. “I’m all about L.A., grown up in Whittier. So, dude, when the Rams come calling or the Chargers, I would really like to do this.”
Before he was selected from the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of Michigan State, Peko last played soccer in California within his junior school days when he played with at College of the Canyons, which has also produced the likes of pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul and receiver Marquise”Hollywood” Brown.
Asked whether he’d prefer lining up next to Rams all-world defensive tackle Aaron Donald or even Chargers pass-rushing standout Joey Bosa, Peko did not hesitate to go with the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
“I want to be with Aaron Donald,” explained Peko, who spent the first 11 seasons of his career in Cincinnati. “That would be dope.”
Locking on a sales pitch, he had a message for Donald’s head coach, Sean McVay.
“Coach McVay, your boy friend Domata Peko here ready to go, and I would love to come back out here and symbolize L.A. and attempt to pursue that championship,” Peko explained.
The 6-foot-3, 325-pound Peko could nevertheless provide a run stuffer in the middle and an experienced starting presence to some defensive lineup.
Inspired by his remarks, the Lions are probably his top suitor, but placing a big-bodied veteran alongside Aaron Donald worked for the Rams last year, so who knows?
