Watch: Adrian Peterson’s Son is Already a Beast
© Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

Adrian Peterson was a legendary running back in high school, college and the NFL. His son, Adrian Peterson Jr, already looks ready to take the same path and he is only in the 7th grade:

Being only in the 7th grade and a Class of 2030 recruit, Peterson’s future is far from solidified, but his father’s genetics are very prevalent in his highlight tape. Aside from his genetics, his running style is also amazingly similar to his father’s, who rushed for 14,918 yards and 120 touchdowns during his NFL career.

Nowadays, college recruiting starts very early, so following Peterson’s journey during the next couple of years could be very chaotic. And plenty of that chaos would involve Oklahoma, who immediately will be seen as the favorite for Peterson if he continues to develop due to his father’s memorable career with the Sooners.

Hopefully he continues to develop, because if he does it will be entertaining to watch for everyone.
