Adrian Peterson to go Pro.

AD seems to run really high with respect to the ground. He reminds me of a bigger and faster version of Chris Brown, the talented back from Colorado, who went to Tennessee.

I think those type of runners tend to get hurt more often because they take more hits and are not low to the ground, so they are easy to sniff out.

As far as him going to OU/UT. He said he chose OU over Texas because he felt OU was in a better position to win a Title and put players into the Pros. He also said at one time that he was the best Running Back in Texas, Pros, College, Highschool included.

Very cocky statement, but he may be right.

I never heard anything about USC.

Definitely cocky but confident. If I remember right, when he came out of high school he believed he could be starting for the Dallas Cowboys if he didn't have to go to college for 3 years. I wish I could find the article.

After his freshman year, I thought he was going to be another Earl Campbell or some incredible player like that. frankly, I was not that impressed this year before his injury, and he did not look like all that much in the Bowl game.

Well, I don't know how much you can take from this year but before he got hurt, he rushed for 935 yards in 6 games. He had a 5.56 YPC average. He scored 11 TDs rushing and 1 TD receiving. He also had 127 yards receiving on 8 catches. That's 15.87 YPC. The bowl game was his first game back from injury and that was probably too soon but still, I would probably agree that he was not the typical Adrian Peterson coming back.
