Adrian Peterson?

[LatinMind]

i saw him on espn this morning and i didnt catch all of his interview, but it sounded to me like he doesnt think he's going to come out. anybody see this whole interview?

 

[TDHND]

I didn't see any of it. If he does came back it'll make my boy Darius Walker not look as stupid for leaving.

He still hasn't decided whether he's coming out or not...

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson said Thursday he has not yet decided whether he will declare himself eligible for the NFL draft.

"I have spent the last few days considering my options to either enter the NFL draft or stay at OU. The facts are that I have not hired any representation and I have not declared for the draft," Peterson said in a statement released by Oklahoma.

Adrian is likely coming out -- how do I think I know? He's not enrolled in any classed this semester. That's that....

It's a catch 22 for Mr. Peterson.

If he goes back and stays healthy for an entire college season, he'll make a lot more money because the NFL IS worried about his durability issue.

However, if he goes back with that goal and then gets another injury that causes him to miss part of the season, it could cost him even more money.

If it's about college, education, and getting better, he should stay in college.

If it's about money, he should come out now and probably be the first RB taken with only Lynch even close. Next season he probably gets selected behind McFadden at least, imo.

Walker is no better than a 3rd rounder, it's really not going to make a big difference for him to be honest.

Thats not true...Walker is or was just as good as Julius Jones at ND. Maybe better. Isnt he like the all-time leading rusher for ND? Walker is a second rounder for sure. Dont be surprised if the Cowboys take him if he last to the third which I doubt.

I pray that we don't. Walker will be a lifetime backup where ever he goes.

Walker is more like a 3rd down scat back, period and he will be lucky to get drafted 1st day, unless he can kick return or punt retutrn to improve his stock i see a likely late 3rd early 4th

theres a better crop of RBs in this draft, when julius in 04 steven jackson was the first back taken at 24 by the rams, there'll probably be 3 before that in this draft

Walker is a very good workman like back. Very solid in all areas of the game. He will do a good job for you- but he lacks breakaway speed. 3rd rd, maybe late second rd. at best. I think he might be as good as Betts but we will see.

why?

College will always be there, why does he have to stay right now? I say take the guaranteed contract as he will be a sure fire top 12 pick.....go back to OU he risks injury etc.......he has nothing left to prove, he was on pace for a 2,000+ season when his freak injury happened.

Emmitt Smith went back in the off season and got his degree even though he came out early....school will always be there, the guaranteed millions in contract may not.

 

[TDHND]

Walker will graduate from ND after 3 years. If he would have stayed for his senior year he would have become ND's all-time leading rusher. With all the young backs ND has he figured he's get less touches and that next year's runningbacks class would be tougher,so he left. As an Irish fan I was upset in the beginning,but I think he's doing the right thing.

 

[BigDave95]

Peterson should come out. This year he'll unquestionably be the first RB taken. Personally, I don't think there's any chance he'd make it past Houston at the worst.

Next year, he'd be the 2nd RB taken at best. Darren McFadden will be the top back next year.
