    Default Adrian Peterson gives himself an average grade

    I was just watching an interview with Adrian Peterson on ESPN and he gave himself an average grade for his rookie season and said he had some areas he needed to improve.

    This kid is a beast. If he stays healthy, I see him passing Emmitt.

    He may have a problem staying healthy that long.

    EDIT: I just reread your post and saw you said " If he stays healthy". My bad!!!!

    I like his modesty.

    He had a hell of a rookie season, and if he stays healthy he should be a record setter for sure!

    I think Adrian Peterson should have a great career, but he'll be hard-pressed to crack 12,000 yards, more or less the 18,355 that Smith put up. He breaks a lot of big runs, but he's only going to have 3-4 years behind the likes of Hutchinson and with T-Rich gone the big runs are going to be harder to come by. I put him at 1,300 yards and 11 TDs next season...good, but not what most are expecting.

    Good point. It is a team game. I don't know if I'd compare the two though. They have two different styles.
