Shonte Peoples is a former linebacker in the Canadian Football League.

Having played his college football at the University of Michigan, Peoples signed on with the Las Vegas Posse, a CFL expansion franchise, in 1994. He moved on to another CFL American team, the Birmingham Barracudas, in 1995.

He was selected by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 1996 Dispersal Draft for the CFL (now defunct) American teams. He played 1997 and 1998 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, where he enjoyed his greatest success, in 97, as an all star and runner up for the CFL's Most Outstanding Defensive Player Award. He played with the Calgary Stampeders for 1999 and 2000, and for the Green Riders for 3 last seasons (2001 to 2003)

During July 2003, during his final year, he was arrested for having a minute amount of marijuana. The charges were later dropped.

This was not his first brush with the law. In March 1994 he fired a pistol at police he had mistaken for car thieves trying to steal his expensive new Jeep, which he had just modified with a $7,000 stereo package. Four months later, a jury found him guilty on two felony charges of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Quite possibly one of the best safeties to ever play at U of M. Peoples is from Saginaw, MI.
