NFL Debut

Jason Peters was picked up by the Buffalo Bills as a undrafted rookie free agent in 2004. Peters beat out former Texas star Mike Williams for starting right tackle on the Bills in 2006. Peters was rewarded for his play, which led to his 5-year contract deal, worth $15 million with the Bills in the offseason. In 2007, Peters began the season entrenched as the starting right tackle. After Week 7, the Bills reshuffled their offensive line to better protect quarterback J. P. Losman. Peters was moved to left tackle, replacing Mike Gandy who moved inside to left guard.

In 2007, Peters had his best years as a pro, and he was chosen to start at left tackle on the AFC Pro-Bowl team.  He injured his groin in a game against the New York Giants, and was unable to attend the Pro Bowl game. He was the first Bills offensive lineman to make the Pro Bowl since Ruben Brown in 2003 as Joe Thomas was selected to replace him. Jason was selected as the starting left tackle in the Pro Bowl and was a Second-team All-Pro despite his average performance in the 2008 season.In 2006, he produced only two sacks and produced six sacks the following year.
