Peterson getting drug into the end zone shouldn't take anything away from him, especially considering the same thing probably would've happened to half the defenders in the country. He's a Shutdown corner, he's not going to be making his money in the NFL based on tackles. Just saying, that play in particular was really all Cam.

Oh, you mean the play where Cam ran to to the right (from behind the snap) and PP7 was in man coverage on the left side of the field? IDK if Fairley could have stopped Cam on the goal line there.


And @AA complaining about getting off topic...this game is a month away. If you honestly think this was going to be on-topic for a a whole month...well, good luck with that.

I wonder if Peterson will be the first non qb off the draft board. CB's like that are so hard to come by.

Peterson can't injure quarterbacks at the same level Fairley can.

It'll be either him, Bowers, Austin, Green or Fairley.

I would say that's a definite. Seeing him in person...dude just LOOKS like a Pro Bowl receiver.

He's a very big corner with obvious big time speed and ball skills.

Other than Luck (best passer, most pro Ready), Cam (IMO best overall physical talent), and A.J. Green I would take Petersen if I had a top 5 pick.

I think Luck obviously goes #1. I could see those guys as well. Peterson to me just looks like one of those once in every 5 years type player at the most coveted non qb position in the league.

My Lions sure could use him....
