Peterson reflects on Sooners career
Monday, June 29, 2009
OU football legend, Adrian Peterson, coached children this week in the fundamentals of football. Peterson said it brought back old memories. The Old Spice Adrian Peterson Football Camp was a three-day camp for children that had Peterson looking back on the days he wore crimson and cream. He was a player with outstanding statistics even though he never got a Heisman or a National Championship to prove it.
He is currently in the NFL racking up stats as he did in college, even though the competition is one step above. His goals are to win the NFC North and just be a "complete player."

I think it is great that Adrian Peterson comes back to host a camp at the college that jump-started his career. After reading the his statistics and realizing that he didn't win a Heisman or a National Championship, it seems as though he was 'robbed'. He as a great player, and a great team leader whose cards just didn't play out. It is good that he realizes the past is the past and there is nothing one can do to change that. He has a great career now that he is focused on which is outstanding. Peterson seems like an athlete that uses the past to help push him forward and advance himself in anything he does.
