Now that I have seen LF all year and now see Peterson tonight...I do see where some people say LF reminds them of Peterson. Hope he has as good of a career as AP!

Size, top end speed, power are right there with AP

LF could stand to lose 10 pounds. He doesn't have elite lateral quickness and initial explosion right now. His size, strength and speed are absolutely elite once he hits the hole, but if you keep him from getting downhill right off the ball he struggles to stop and start.
