Also intrigued was Peterson, the NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player. Upon hearing about the Louisiana kid who was being favorably compared to him, Peterson sat down recently at the Vikings' training facility to watch YouTube videos of Fournette. The first word out of the Minnesota Vikings' All-Pro running back's mouth: "Wow."

"He's a taller back with a great combination of size, speed and power," Peterson said. "Has great vision; his feet follow his eyes very well. He's very impressive. 

"If he keeps working hard, the sky is the limit for him."

Fournette later would learn Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning watched the Curtis game from his home and New Orleans Saints players were discussing his moves in the locker room the next day. ESPN billed the highlights from the game on "SportsCenter" with the headline: "The Next Adrian Peterson?"
