Scott Porter: What are your biggest strengths?
Colin Peek: Personally, I believe my biggest strengths are my consistency, intelligence, toughness and determination. On the field, I believe that my biggest strengths fall upon my ability to be an all-around versatile TE. This includes being a great run-blocking TE as well as being an explosive down the field threat in the receiving game.
Scott Porter: What player in the NFL reminds your of yourself the most?
Colin Peek: Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten.
Scott Porter: What will be the biggest transition from the college to the pro level?

Scott Porter: What will you miss most about college football?
Colin Peek: I'll miss everything about college football. Honestly, there is no better place to play college football than at the University of Alabama. I'll miss everything encompassing my time at Alabama: the fanatical fans, the unwavering support, the beautiful campus, suiting up at Bryant-Denny stadium. I'll miss my teammates more than anything. We were truly a family of brothers.
