Although part of the Jet set, former University of Hawai'i safety Leonard Peters remains grounded.

While training with the New York Jets, Peters maintained daily contact with his friends and family in Hawai'i.

He also continued his practice of attending a Mormon church every Sunday.

"There's one real close to the facilities," he said.

And tomorrow Peters, who is in town for two weeks, will serve as a guest instructor at the Hawai'i Speed and Quickness clinic at the UH athletic complex.
