Here's the article on Patrick Peterson:

quote:

There's not much he can't do. He's one of those guys, if it wasn't football, then baseball maybe or another sport. He's that type of talent and athlete. -Carson Palmer


quote:

Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians believes the first-round pick out of LSU has the potential to be a top-five NFL wideout.


And he's not scratch. 8 months ago he was an 8 handicap and I remember reading recently he's lowered it to 4. He taught himself without playing on a course very much. Watching online and hitting balls in his basement.

quote:

Peterson taught himself golf in two years by watching online videos and reading about Tiger Woods. Moreover, he has an 8 handicap. For those who don’t know golf, an 8 handicap is very good for someone who has only been playing the sport for two years.


Also, Arians said he had the second strongest arm on the team behind Palmer and that he had the second strongest leg on the team behind Jay Feely. (looking for article on that)


Guy is a freak of nature and could've played any sport he set his mind to.



Here's another article that talks about how in 1 game he threw a pass, caught a pass, and had to guard Megatron on defense. LINK

Pat is so naturally gifted. He showed up as a freshman at LSU already weighing 200+ lbs as a corner. All he really did in highschool was push ups and situps. He was squatting over 500 lbs his first summer in LSU's strength program. Crazy for a corner back. He really doesn't look like he's over 220 lbs to me because of how he holds his weight.

Another note on Lebron that adds to his football potential is the fact he's a one legged jumper. Doesn't seem like a big deal but being able to jump off one leg is way more useful in game situations (in either sport) than guys who always jump off 2 feet.
