Does Peterson enter the Draft?

[WestPlano006]

It seems to be a simple question, but I am not too sure right now.

Peterson's goals at OU:
-Win the Hiesman
-Win a National Title

He states in interviews that he came here for those reasons, and has yet to complete them. Maybe he wants to give it another run at the Heisman? Hopes of a big BCS victory? Hell, he is only 70 or so yards shy of breaking the OU rushing record set be Heisman great Billy Sims.

What do you think?

(by the way, the next great OU running back is redshirted DeMarco Murray, #2 RB out of high school in 2006)

[wide-e-wide]

The better question is...

Should his convict dad have been allowed on the sidelines during an OU game?

Remember you're the guy that said Nate Newton shouldn't be allowed on the sidelines at SLC games.

I've been waiting 2 weeks to say that one again...you never responded the first time.

[Sicemhorns09]

AP is a great talent and a class act guy. I think he makes the jump to the NFL so that he doesnt have to risk injury his senior year. After the Baylor/OU game a few of us went onto the field to talk with the players...AP was defntly well spoken and very nice towards the fans....although I hate OU, i wish him success next year!!

I think he will stay.

[SLC DRAGON]

He goes into the draft. there isnt a ton of Rb's this year like last. this assures him a top pick by a bad team that needs help in there backfield.

ummm...we know that....this one isn't though.

Squeeze your head or kiss your sister...whatever the hell you sooners do to make your brain work...and try to keep up.

[twcpfan1]

OU played better this year without him. I'm not sure how valuable a commodity he will be in the NFL. But somebody will end up overpaying him.

[elprezidente]

enter if im him. another injury may be career ending. i woudlnt take the chance if cold-hard cash is sittin there......remember he goes to the university of carsalesmen.

the chances of the first is slim, and the nc, none. it requires more team than ou seems to have right now. he's gone. the heisman is the kiss of death anyway.

yes, we all know he has the stats, size, etc. to become great. :rolleyes:
he's also fragile. he ran 20 times for 77 yards against BOISE STATE. about 20 of those yards were also gained in about one run. maybe he's ready, but the way he played in the fiesta bowl showed me very little.

Look at Reggie Bush's stats in the Rose Bowl. Was he NOT ready for the NFL?
You can't base it all on one game dude you know that.

I base it off of what he's done, since he landed on the doorstep @ Norman, OK. You know...the 4500 yds and 41 tds?!

And...
He's not fragile...he's overly agressive. (A trait I can admire.) When he was a TRUE freshman he was trying to truck SENIOR LB's. (Most of whom he ran over!) That can take its toll, but it does gain something else...besides yds. It gains respect. Respect form teammates, other players, legends of the game and NFL Scouts/Coaches.

The only thing the NFL needs to worry about is Adrian trying to run over a Brahma Bull, or something. They will tell him, "Hey, run a few out of bounds! No need to try and kill everyone on the field!"

Oh no...AD has earned his way! No doubt!

he sure was aggressive when he jumped into the endzone on that meaningless touchdown wasn't he?

[ThEgReAtOnE]

he sure was aggressive when he jumped into the endzone on that meaningless touchdown wasn't he?

Yes, he was. While it was a meaningless TD - to a countless number of non-OU fans - it still held respect from his peers and those who mattered most. That kind of committment and effort resides in the kind of athlete coveted by the NFL. And to think, he's had that kind of attitude, since he arrived in College.

Honestly, it's just something most - outside of the arena, probably wouuldn't understand....which is why it's unique.

Overly agressive = Earl Campbell. I don't think there are many who will say he was fragile because he kept trying to run over everyone on the HS, College and NFL field. I may be wrong, but there's not a negative damn thing I can say about Earl's committment and effort. As a matter of fact, his STYLE of play is so RESPECTED, it's LEGENDARY!

[Texasfrog]

You cant tell a player (Peterson) to turn the motor down and not go 100mph. The guy only knows one speed and that's "100% all out."

Ya, so what position does he go ? (1,2,3 or what).

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Ya, so what position does he go ? (1,2,3 or what).

He's the 1st RB taken by, either, Houston or Cleveland. Though Cleveland should go ahead and get JaMarcus Russell. (Russell may go to Oakland, instead....as the #1 QB.)

I think it's safe to say Peterson will be a Texan next year.

Who else could use him? Alot of teams. (Houston, Cleveland, Atlanta, Minnesota)

[HUM398]

if he goes 8th maybe he can give life to that team...sorta like Earl Campbell

to Arizona or to Houston. If he's still there at Houston's pick you better believe they will grab him. No way they pass on a stud again.

The Raiders maybe...but I don't think so.

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Whoa.....
What is this freakin' DUDE (http://www.wndu.com/home/headlines/5148597.html) thinking?

There isn't much dept to this years' class of RB's....perhaps he can get drafted higher than the FA Round! Heh, heh, heh!!!:D






Note: Obviously, there is no such thing as the "FA Round".

The Texans..Maybe be dumb enough to pass him up and get OT...


Raiders are def. going to go with Jarmarcus Russel... Al Davis wont let that opportunity slip... either that or go with the David carr of the draft...Brady Quinn.

He is coming out man.... Its whats best for him as a player. He has a chance to get paid, and play football... Or a chance to stay at Oklahoma and possibly get hurt and play for free.... He just feeling a bit of uncertianity.. a sense of failure im guessing. They have Allen Patrick to pick up the load, so its not going to be just AD back their.
