“He is a stud”

The early reviews continue to be positive for new Saints running back Adrian Peterson. The future Hall of Fame tailback has a fan in his new future Hall of Fame quarterback teammate.

“He is a stud,” Brees told reporters on Thursday regarding Peterson. “He looks the part. It has been impressive. Obviously, you admired the guy from afar. I have played in a few Pro Bowls with him, so I do have a little bit of that experience. There is something about handing the ball off to that guy and watching him run through the hole and take on anybody who tries to tackle him. Obviously, we are not in pads right now, but you are just imagining what it is going to be like. So, I am excited for that time to come.”



The team’s defenders may not be excited for that time to come, especially when he catches a swing pass from Brees.

“Any time you can get him in space against a smaller DB, look out,” Brees said. “Good luck tackling that guy in the open field. I feel like all of our backs are doing a really good job right now.

What's he supposed to say? "Yea he used to be a stud but he's older now so let's see how it goes". Hell Brees is in the same boat.

Oh no... Oh no... I'm getting giddy. I know better than to get giddy from OTA reports. Can't... resist...

Is all you can do gripe and moan? Who pissed in your cornflakes, Dude? Can you say anything positive?

His age 32 burn down chart is not the same as an average RB. Drop off, yes but still ahead of of a lot of guys. Can't carry it 20 times a game consistently but a handful he could do some serious damage. Just keep him healthy and fresh.

I hope he's right.
