Everybody and they momma know he should’ve won that
Heisman as a freshman!
No doubt
True Freshman at that
@@numba1punta110 unfortunately I think back in that time freshman weren't allowed to be in the Heisman race
The homie literally gallops like a prize horse. That dude for real for real.
Getting to watch that kid in college in person was a real pleasure. We got real lucky with him at OU he's an absolute monster!
An announcer in an NFL game said “Once his head gets bucking you can count to Christmas”
I was just talking about this with a homie the other day. I've never seen a RB "gallop" like this before. He ran with so much power. Definitely one of the greats.
When you see that head bobbin, he gone.
@@GReid-ol5gk look up Marcus Dupree in HS. Ik its HS but it’s still a crazy tape. Did good in his short time as a sooner too
He always looked like he was giving everything he had while running. I don’t think we will ever get one like him again.
Tanner Johnson must never seen Reggie Bush play..
Unfortunately I watched Reggie Bush run all over my Sooners. But his running was effortless, Peterson ran with fire. Ran like he was mad.
Saquon can be the second coming of AP real shit if they get on they shit I mean I know his line ain't hitting on shit but he still manage to get like 3 or 4 yards out of a broken play
Has anyone heard of a running back named Earl Campbell....or Barry Sanders, just a thought
brinnith No one is claiming he was the best ever. Those guys are completely different runners than Peterson.
Dude was incredible. Strong as hell, fast as hell and he ran angry. Everytime he ran he felt like it was personal that any human could possibly take him down.
Mack Brown told him while recruiting that he would be the 3rd rb on depth chart. Absolutely couldn't start due to Cedric Benson being his #1. Adrian's freshman year against Texas he rushed for 225 yds and got the win.
Benson was good but not Ricky Williams good
He wasnt Peterson good
Thank you Mack Btown
He was absolutely capable of making an NFL roster out of high school. I was a senior in HS when he was a freshman at OU. I remember how much hype he got, and exceeded it. I always said he was what I imagined Jim Brown looked like. Imagine being a high school football player...you know the million of us that just played HS ball and some college, maybe. Imagine attempting to tackle this guy in HS or college. Unreal.
I'm a year younger than you and I seen him in person his freshman year at the mall and I seriously couldn't believe what I was looking at. Not because I was star struck but because he looked physically like he had been in the nfl for a few years already.
Wrong....he would've been destroyed in the NFL straight from high school
@@travisd6585 wrong. AP was 6'1 217 coming outta high school
@@elbowgang9715 No kid straight out of high school could handle men going all out on him. High school kids are not up to speed on how much bigger, faster and stronger NFL players are period.
@@travisd6585 that’s the thing they weren’t that bigger stronger or faster. Go watch ad’s interview with Shannon sharpe about if he could’ve went straight pro or not. There’s definitely NFL teams that would’ve drafted him straight from high school he’s 1 of few
This dude was and is one of the greatest RB's ever. One of my favorites of all time, love his highlights.
Definitely. Had all the intangibles and no defender wanted anything to do with having to tackle this guy!
Adrian Peterson was probably the most complete college RB. Between the power, speed, agility, and vision. Injury was the only thing to stop him.
that year he came back after his injury, just A GOD!
This is proof some players should be able to go straight to the league.
Once in a generation
Always loved how dips his head while running to the TD
Once in a lifetime athlete
Never had a bit of wasted energy in his running style.
That’s what my wife says about my ground and pound game
What are you talking about it looked like it took him so much energy to run full speed like a type 3 diabetic trying to get in shape
@@nicholaswoods4055 Hater
Not even close. He bobbed is head excessively and looked like he was trying for his life just to run top speed. Bo Jackson looked way more effortless and was still faster and stronger
@@nicholaswoods4055 WTf you talking about he's fast as shit
I am not an Oklahoma Sooners fan but I watched every game he played in college and like pretty much everyone else I knew he was going to be a special player for a long time. I remember watching the 2007 nfl draft as a teenager and immediately becoming a Vikings fan and hoping that he would spend his whole career here. Best wishes to AD and Skol Vikings!
Die hard Vikings fan here, watched almost every single one of his professional games and runs. It's amazing to watch his college highlights because he never changed his running style. Absolutely one of the best ever, professional and college alike. Spectacular and glad I found this video to relive his collegiate career. All Day!
He completed Marcus Duprees legacy at OU! If anyone knows who that is. 😂
Fosho tho
My sentiments exactly....Marcus Dupree was a Beast!!
Yep my relatives are from Philadelphia MS. My lil brother played at the same high school....I do remember watching DuPree zip by the TX Dunghorns
ML A that’s what’s up man. I just hate how he believed that lying preacher down at Southern Miss who killed his career and then injures plagued him. 🤦♂️ If I’m not mistaken after his mom passed he went back home driving trucks right?
@@lionheart4529 - Yes you're right
There are some guys that you see play early on and you say to yourself that barring injury or them doing something to derail their careers, they are can't miss prospects. AD was one of them for me. When I saw him in the high school All-American game I knew he was can't miss. That man ran like his hair was on fire and his life depended on it. He ran with very bad intentions. One of the best backs I've ever seen in my 47 years of living.
Man I remember watchin him back then omg you knew he was gonna break a big run
AP is a living legend he still looks great on the redskins he just had a good game against the vikings
Its AD, it was never AP. AD, ALL DAY
philly boy: He’s not even the Best Big 12 RB ever. That belongs too Barry and Earl👍🏿
@@Bigload992G cant say Campbell and leave out Sims. 2 beasts!
I remember being in awe the first time I saw him back in 04. There is no other player in CFB in the last 20 years that I can think of that stood out like him. Just so enormously talented he could of probably went straight from Palestine HS to the NFL.
Back when dude could hit a 4.3 burst easily
They won't show this In any highlight reel. But even when he only made 2-3 yard gains. It was usually dragging a defensive linemen. I watched him so many times hop for extra yards with a 275lbs defense tackle hanging on to his leg like a 5yr old.
Yall... we are old... this was when we thought television couldn’t get any better and now it’s like looking in black and white
Mansa Musa
Mansa musa Exactly- Wake Up Black People
1080i ftw!
He just didn’t stop.. his speed and power was amazing..
One of the most dominant players in the history of football! Man amongst boys at every level!
Did television really use to look that bad? I do not remember it being that grainy.
I cant believe we used to watch that and we thought it was good.
IKR😂😂
i never get that. Even TV today will look grainy 5 years from now. It was definitely clearer.
RUclips compresses videos so that they load faster. Throwback TV def looks a lot worse now that we know what higher definition looks like though.
Kaleb Goodrich 😂😂😂😂
Him and Eric Dickerson had the same upright running style. Adrian seem to look like he was running with more effort. Dickerson just looked so smooth. Both Hall of fame careers.
I still believe that he was the only player I’ve seen that could’ve played in the NFL straight outta high school.
With all do respect to all eras this man is the the greatest Rusher of all time!!!!
But I will say the most impressive thing I’ve seen with my eyes is Priest Holmes and LT in his prime with the chargers But AP is a rushing god
This guy in his prime is the most impressive running back I’ve ever seen.
I watch this video out of respect every time I draft a rookie RB in early rounds. This is the bar.
Yo when he runs it looks like he’s running for his life. Such pose such power.
This dude was crazy in college. I remember living in tx, just came back from a tour to Iraq. Saw this guy plat UT Longhorns. He ran all over them and i said who tf is this guy. I think they said he was a fteshman at the time and i was like damn. He grown manning these dudes.
I'm not saying old dudes couldn't play ball but the defensive athletes Campbell was going against in 1975, 1976, 1977 are not like the defensive athletes in 2004, 2005, 2006.
I remember leaving the cotton bowl after OU won 12 zip and listening to texas sports guys crying about how they didn't think they would beat Oklahoma again until Peterson left. Obviously they were wrong, but I remember that well!
I'm an Ohio State fan, and I know that every major college program had had some great ones - OJ Simpson/Reggie Bush/Marcus Allen at USC, Earl Campbell/Jamaal Charles/Ricky Williams at Texas, Eddie George/Archie Griffin/Maurice Clarrett at OSU, way too many guys to name over the years... Adrian Peterson might be the best that I've ever seen. He just makes it look so easy.
That run at 03:44-03:54, is what I'll always remember about Adrian Peterson during his Oklahoma run. The joker ran so hard every down, that even to his own detriment, he'd always try to hit his head on the goal post. He actually fractured his left shoulder, on that touchdown run (his breakout true freshman year). This dude was just on another level, both in college, and professional football.
Yep, that was the exact run I decided he was the best college back I’d ever seen (live) in my lifetime… just on an entirely different level, it was almost like he had already scored before the play had even started… just slicing through the defense, always 2 steps ahead… if you were lucky enough to lay a hand on him he would probably snap it off with his power… not used much as a receiver out of the backfield, but in terms of pure running, probably the best college back since Barry Sanders
Artfully and arguably the greatest college RB we ever seen period..
Greatest running back of all time
My favorite player to watch when he got in the nfl.
The only player that I ever seen that could’ve made an NFL roster free out of high school.. as a Freshmen in college he was a man amongst boys
I think Stingley could
@@sheluvv_shadow9240 nah he couldn’t
No 4K TV , nobody wanted to tackle AP , dude was just a one move and go type of back the size , speed , power unreal
Speed power vision cut ability stiff arm dude had everything insane man among boys out there
What a talented, strong runner!
Bo Jackson was a freak of nature and Hershel Walker as well
I’ll never forget watching em. That dude had
ONE SPEED.
When that head got to bucking you knew it was a wrap.
My Favorite running back 🙏🏾 , thank god he still in the lead . The way he switch gears & that burst omg
It was said by Bob Stoops and many others that Peterson was ready for the NFL his first day as a freshman at OU and he already was much stronger than just about anybody on the team. It's a shame they didn't win a national championship while he was there.
Kejuan Jones
Best pure RB I have ever seen.
Go back and look at old films of Saraycuse, Texas, Georgia, and Auburn when talk powerful running backs. Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, Hershal Walker, and Bo Jackson.
clifford marks we all know football Adrian is only second 2 Barry Sanders
1:37 one of the nastiest runs ever cant believe i never seen this before!
Seeing him on film and seeing him actually do it in person in the stadium is night and day. Just waiting for a run play to see what he was about to do was a wild feeling for sure.
Hershal Walker....Bo Jackson...Marcus Dupree...Eric Dickerson....Earl Cambell... Ricky Williams.....ADRIAN PETERSON...NICE GROUP FOR THE TITLE
When this dude runs you can see the horsepower in his stride.
EXACTLY!!
Peterson and. Dupree. To
Me. And. Of. Course
Billy. Sims...thee. Baddest
RB.s. in. D1. History
All. Are. Heisman. Trophy
Caliber. Talents!!!
I bet when he call it quits he will be in the hall of Fame
I was Born in 1984 and in my time my top 5 RB i enjoyed watching &best I ever seen personal opinion in college football 🏈
1.Adrian Peterson
2.Reggie Bush
3.Ricky Williams
4.Maurice Clarett
5.Rashaun salaam
I would sub Salaam for Derrick Henry but no agreement on Peterson and reggie
Justin Burton that 5th spot can go to a lot of people cause Larry Johnson was pretty nasty a penn state as well I put salaam cause I’m from Colorado also he the only one out of Cu to win a
Heisman
KING CHRIS LT was at TCu and theY didn’t have him are
Faulk on tV 📺 so I really didn’t see them beside highlights
@@louiet4905 Salaam was a beast. So was Lawrence Phillips... Unfortunately his life was awful after college.
I dig the Salaam pick at 5, he that Heisman trophie for a reason..
3:29. The way he side steps while running. I didn't know people could down-shift. :D
This plays like a high school highlight tape. Every clip was a touchdown. Crazy
A.D. has made you shake your head and just say “Wow!”
I was too young to watch Barry Sanders when he was at OK State; Adrian Peterson is the best college running back that I’ve ever seen.
He’s like the last great RB before the league changed to passing league
Hes one of the best. Earl Campbell, Hershel Walker, Bo Jackson, George Rodgers.
You took the words right out of my mouth I just made a comment saying that 😂🤣
And Eric Dickerson never leave him out.
Eddie George
Dang right Arnwine, Otis Anderson, Christian Okoye, Jerome Bettis, Brandon Jacobs, Jamal Anderson Ricky Williams, Eddie George, Jim Brown, C'MON man!
And not a single one of yall brought up Ron Dayne. The straight disrespect
Peterson and Moss were the best 1st round picks the Vikings ever had.
Best running back ever A.P. all day!!!!
A man amongst boys
AP is my fav player ever. Watched his whole college and Pro career. If I had to win the Super Bowl with one back, it would be AP, all day long!
No one’s peak ever was at his peak.
My favorite player of all time.
Hershel Walker was the most powerful running back in history. It’s not even a debate.
Mike Alstott by a mile...
Aidan Kirby Your delusional, Walker was one the fastest 60 meter runners in the world.
He is a beast!
My favorite back all time. AP. Barry. LT.
I think before every carry, they told him this is the last time you're gonna get the ball
If u we’re creating a RB build him like this
Him or R. Bush
@@fredleeland2464 while Bush is one of my favorite players of all time, hell no, AP would be your build. Speed, power, agility, vision, acceleration, tackle breaking, stiff arming, he had everything but ball security.
Bush's lack of physicality is what puts him below AP.
Best ever!
STRAIGHT BEAST!!!
Man how they not win a championship is with this man is crazy
He ran into a Goliath from Southern California lol
@@josiahpulemau6214 you sho right lmao
That dominating SC squad under Pete Carroll is why the NCAA had to shake things up again. After that, the SEC went on to win a decade of national titles. Remember LSU the year before that massacre by SC played a weaker Oklahoma team in NCG and won 21-14. The Sooners squad SC smashed had two of the Heisman finalists on their offense. The NCAA did the same thing when Frazier and the Cornhuskers were dominating cfb in late 90s and that's when they came up with the BCSec system. The first team to win a National title in bcs era was an sec team. The "4 team" playoff was supposedly made to keep from having another LSU/BAMA all sec NCG. Less than 5 years of the playoff era and we have already seen UGA/Bama in title game lol
Politics. Killed the game for me.
I'm all SC but I ain't watchin' anymore as much. They gonna forever put Southern football up there because they bring in so much money.
I'm pullin' for Sooners this year though. Hope Hurts gets his payback vs Bama no disrespect to my boy Tua but he should've stuck to da West Coast hahahaha
Just when I finally put that Oregon game behind me
True Beast..😁👍🏼👍🏼
He actually ran like a track star in pads & could still make reads commit to em & generate the power needed to open up for a TD it’s crazy
He played RB like LT played OLB…that extra anger that you can’t coach a player to acquire…one of the very best ever
The 2nd to last video against Iowa St he broke his collar bone on that play with his dad fresh out of prison in the stands watching
I remember AP from day one looking like a NFL player he was too much
It’s AD not AP
It felt like they dialed back his attributes in the NCAA football game cause if they made him how he truly was he would have been a cheat code!
Real monster
Yes BOOMER-SOONER!!!!!
I never knew Adrian Peterson went to OU until now.
Dude real deal..
So glad I got to watch him in his prime with my Vikings. I will say, when they drafted him I was against it because we already had Chester Taylor who had already rushed for 1000 yards. I thought we need other positions, other places we could use the 7th pick. Boy was I wrong.
Unbelievable
still have yet to see a better college running back in my lifetime.
1:13 is absolutely insane how fast he comes out the backfield oh my god
Him & Barry Sanders are the best Ever to play Running Back in The NFL!
When AP heads started moving up and down, the shit was pretty much a wrap
We love you in Minnesota
I wish Adrian Peterson won the Heisman if not for Reggie Bush at USC but I wish that he was rewarded with a super bowl championship in the NFL too he would be a 1st ballot Hall Of Famer by a landslide
Strong absolute Strength mixed with crazy speed
Think Bo Jackson, Walter Peyton, and Herschel Walker might have a different opinion
I was just thinking....."whomever made this video was OBVIOUSLY not old enough to have seen Bo, Herschel, Walter, Earl, Billy, Lorenzo, Garrison, or Ricky".....I could keep going. There were many backs more powerful than AP. They could even go fairly recent and look at Derrick Henry or Trent Richardson.
Then there was also Alstot and Dayne.
He's not even the most powerful back to go to his school. Look up Marcus Dupree. Bigger, and was just as fast
AP NOT the most POWERFUL RB in College history 👎🏼
A different kind of back. Scary. 😊
They dont make running backs like Adrian anymore. I watched him play Iowa State back in 2006 and in in the nfl against Seattle in 2012 (i believe), both games put up 175+ rushing yards and 2td's. Most exciting running back ive watched in my life.
Corey Dillon was!!! University of Washington RB 1996-1997.... Unbelievable freak of nature...
Vikings need him back.
Hercules McGillicuddy Jiggins There current running back is doing just fine bud
The Vikings dont deserve him back
We haven’t seen a RB as good since. Best rb in my life time behind Barry sanders
