FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Jamal Peters, who led the CFL in interceptions this past season and helped the Toronto Argonauts win the Grey Cup, signed a futures deal Monday with the Atlanta Falcons.

The American defensive back was among 18 players signed by the NFL Falcons.

The six-foot-two, 220-pound Peters had a CFL-high six interceptions last season with the Grey Cup-champion Argos. Peters, 26, started 15 games with Toronto, registering 57 tackles and a sack en route to being named a league all-star.

He added eight tackles and a forced fumble in Toronto’s two playoff games.

Peters signed with Toronto in 2021. He appeared in eight games that year, recording 32 tackles and an interception.
