Well most of the over hyped players did play on talented teams and played against weaker teams and that always happens. It all depends on the teams that the players get drafted to and how they will play when they get to the NFL.

Only time will tell. Alot of rookies success are because they are exceptional players but factors such as team playing for, coaching staffs, philosophy of team, owner, injuries, contract negotiating and just plain luck play a large factor in ultimate sucess or failure.

what do you guys think of Adrian Peterson (Halfback number 28 for Oklahoma) I know he is still in college but do you guys think he will be a good pro, he missed 4 games or so and still broke 1100 yards and he finished second in heisman voting his freshman year, he actually should have won it... He is a great overall tailback and one of my Favorites

Adrian Peterson???????????????????????? Watch a replay of TCU's asskicking of OU in Norman,OK. last season. If Adrian couldn't hop over the Frogs, whats gonna happen in the NFL? TCU's coach Patterson said it all," Hit him below the waist and he goes down like any other guy". They did and so did he.

He just needs to stay healthy. He's really tall for a running back and he could just run over some players.

Well alot of these 1st round prospects do get overhyped. And I'm sure that quite a bit of 2-4 round players will do better then these 1st round guys.

Are you a total dumbass or what AD just returned from Shoulder and Ankle surgery plus don't forget he carried the ball 25 times in the first half!!!! AD was RUNNING OVER Derrick Thomas (rooke linebacker for the Chiefs) in his freshman year... Last season Stoops wanted to put the team on Adrian's shoulders, it didn't work, you had a freshman QB and a QB that played WR more than QB in high school and his college career... A cheap O-line at first but look what happened against OSU and Oregon at the end of the season, they tried to low tackle him and geuss what IT DIDN'T WORK!!!!!! INFORM YOURSELF BEFORE YOU KNOCK SOMEBODY!!! Watch all his other highlights, when he was healthy, I mean come on man.... He is big 6'2" 215.... He runs people over and oh yeah he runs a 4.35 40 yard dash, so he's fast and agile because he ran a good cone and shuttle but I don't know the time... Point is TCU kicked OU's ass because Stoops tried to put the load on AD and not to mention the defense at that time, NO STARTERS FROM YEARS BEFORE except CBs who sucked anyway so buddy SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!

Thanks AXEL you are 100 percent right but you can't neglect his speed and agility, oh yeah I read on the OU sports page that he jumped onto a 4 foot high box with a hundred (100) pound dumb bell in each hand... Oh yeah and to the TCU dumbass Did you watch the OU spring game because he broke a couple of long runs AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TOUCHED!!!! The defense was great but Adrian Peterson was looking better

Taking it a little personal, huh?

You could have made the exact same points without bashing fellow unionites.  Try having a mature conversation and the rest of us will take you more seriously.

Hey sorry guys, he's my favorite player and ummm... I was angry anyway because some crap is going on in my life and well that's no excuse sorry guys... And yes Derick Johnson, I forgot... I feel retarded now, they were saying something about Derick Thomas (ex LB for the Chiefs) who was a good linebacker but I just mixed up names, sorry again... But was I RIGHT about Adrian Peterson?

He knows more about them than you do, so you can't say anything to him about it.

And this seems to be getting out of hand, so it's time to end it.
