(1/16) Stoops on Peterson and Adrian Peterson Articles
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Stoops on Peterson leaving early: As he has done with almost all Sooners who have left early, Stoops stands behind Peterson's decision. "I know this has been a trying time for him and he just needs to know that we support him whole-heartedly," Stoops said. "Adrian has been a great individual player and a great teammate. His leadership and work ethic sent a strong example, and he competed with everything he had," Stoops said. "He has given us all a lot of great moments and has been fun to watch. "Now, he feels it's just time and we support that. We hope and believe that he's going to be a high pick. We're excited to watch him move on and we expect that he will have a great and long NFL career." Peterson said he believes he's ready for the challenge of football at its highest level. "Physically, I feel like I am ready and the business aspect makes sense, too," he said. (Tulsa World)
