I have high expectations for this guy.

And what people seem to ignore is that he was a very late 1st rounder. Its not like we burned a top 10 pick for him. He was 5 picks from being a 2nd rounder.

I think he'll silence most of his critics this year. I'm sure there will be some that expect him to be Adrian Peterson, but thats a bit unrealistic.
