PP is better at run defense than PrimeTime was (see the attempted tackle at the goalline against Bama), but that is it.

Sanders was an elite athlete but according to most pundits so is Peterson. Peterson is much bigger than Sanders and has more upside as a safety at the next level IMO. That's not to say he can't play corner because he is a great college corner. I just think an Ed Reed type safety is more valuable in today's NFL than an elite corner. Deion was fluid beyond compare IMO. Peterson exudes power and confidence. Two different types of athletes but both fun to watch. Only time will tell how great PP can be. In college he was every bit as good as Sanders in his on way.

Couldn't be more wrong.

Of course Ed Reed doesn't have PP's cover skills. But I'd even take Troy P over Reed
