National Football – Adrian Peterson

Adrian Peterson, nickname is A.D. (“All Day”), born March 21, 1985 in Palestine, Texas, is an American football running back for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL).

Peterson has always loved sports. In high school, he also was involved with track and field. Adrian also became a track and field standout. At Woodward, his high school, he won multiple medals in the 100, 200, triple jump and long jump-the same events in which his mother had once excelled. Adrian’s coach believes that the teen could have been an Olympic long jumper had he note pursued a football career.

Peterson was interested in football as a child as he began playing at the age of seven. He continued his interest in athletics into high school where he competed in track and field, basketball

, and football at Palestine High School.

Concluding his high school football career at the annual U.S. Army All-American Bowl, he led the West squad with 95 yards on nine carries and scoring two touchdowns and announced at the game he would attend college at Oklahoma, which he played as running back for three years at the University of Oklahoma.

At Oklahoma, Peterson set the NCAA freshman rushing record with 1,925 yards (as a true freshman and not a redshirt freshman) as a first team All-American, when he also set the freshman record of runner-up in the Heisman Trophy balloting, and finished as the school’s third all-time leading rusher.

His rare talent as both a great breakaway and power runner has often raised comparisons to past football legends, including Eric Dickerson, Walter Payton, Bo Jackson, Gale Sayers, and Jim Brown.
