The more I think about it, the more I think that he's probably the best player I've ever seen.

I thought his performance against Jones in AL last year was probably the best single performance by any player in college football all year. It of course goes unnoticed to an extent because you don't really accumulate a ton of stats at the corner position, particularly if people aren't throwing your way.

There are 3 things I can definitely say about Peterson

1. He's probably the best cover corner to play college football in the last 5 years

2. He's the best kick returner I've seen in college since Devin Hester

3. He's a damn good tackler for being a speedy cover guy. He even wraps up pretty well on bigger players like TEs.

4. You could probably convert him to a receiver next year and he'd get drafted first day with only one year experience.

This guy is like a combination of Devin Hester and Antoine Winfield without either of their major weaknesses.

He's truly been outstanding & should be at least mentioned as a Heisman possibility--though unlikely it would be awarded to a defensive player.

I will add a 5th or should it be a 4th? He has great calves.

That's a bold statement. I'd really have to think about that one for awhile, but he's definitely up there with the best. He's a man playing with boys right now.

While he is a great player, I think the star this year will be Drake Nevis. This guy may be the best lineman lsu has had He blows his guy up every time just about off the line of scrimmage.

Everything he does seems to unfold in slow motion. It's so easy for him.

The true sign of someone playing a different game than all the rest.

peterson is the best athlete on the team. And i believe randle is almost in the same mold. I think randle will end up being the best reciever to play at lsu this decade.

Herschel Walker was the best I've seen.
