That is why it is my firm belief that Adrian Peterson WILL be the best running back EVER to play the game. There, I said it. He has everything: speed, balance, power, doesn't fumble, hits the hole hard. HE WILL BE THE BEST EVER.
How's his pass blocking. For my money that's what makes Peyton the best RB ever, solid pass blocking, good blitz reading, solid pass receiving, could break the big run, and knew how to square his shoulders and convert 3rd and short. Way too many "great" RBs can't block for crap, nothing helps you keep oppossing defenses guessing like being able to keep your star RB behind the line on pass plays.
