A. Peterson Out For Year

Adrian Peterson broke his collarbone and is out for the rest of the year. At best, he might play in a Bowl game. This is obviously big for Oklahoma, but how do you think it will affect his NFL position? I think he will still declare, and I think he will still be a top 5 pick. Agree? Disagree?

Agree. Won't do a thing to his Draft Status. It's not a serious injury and he'll be able to workout when that time comes. If he wanted to take part in the combine he could because he'll be healed for it.

I believe that it shouldn't affect his draft status. However, if he shows bad additude coming back from the injury or doesn't work hard to get rid of it and things linger a la Lendale White it can negatively effect him.

Peterson would shock me if he acted like that. I've been following his career since he was a junior in high school at Palestine, TX. He's a hard worker and while he's not neccesarily a saint...he won't do something stupid like LenDale.
