The Akron natives tape is as impressive as any, and its clear Peterson has a knack for getting into the backfield and creating chaos. While it remains to be seen how hell handle the increased pass coverage duties that will come with a move to the next level, his tendency to put opposition quarterbacks on the ground gives him as much upside as any other player in the class.<\/p>\n
