Classic Tailback - Adrian Peterson Oklahoma Highlights

[@solomoncooper6491]

He can make a 8 yard gain just as exciting as 60 yard TD unbelievable athlete and one of the greatest players this game has ever seen.

[@mauricedavis2160]

For sure!!!🙏👍🏈

[@treyhuelskamp12]

It's amazing for me too see how much his game changed of his college career. Though he always was fast, powerful, and agile, he learned how to change his pace so well when he pretty much ran one speed as a freshman which made it harder to find the holes. He seemingly got more comfortable with every carry as his freshman year went on. He started a little uncomfortable and by the end of his freshman year looked like a he was a professional playing against kids. Probably my favorite player ever and in my opinion one of the greatest rbs to ever do it

[@TrestanSKYWALKR]

He was ready for the NFL as a freshman! He could’ve gone straight from high school into the NFL.

[@Nin3Nin3Nine3]

It’s true

[@romain8390]

I forget who it was, but a guy who played for the Cowboys at the time, when AP was a senior in high school, said that his team at Palestine High School once came in for a visit, and guys in the locker room were looking at Adrian Peterson and saying amongst themselves “he could be on this team, and could start for us right now, even as senior in high school“

[@Jack44M]

You should have seen him in high school. I officiated one of the Palestine HS games he played in. Amazing talent......the other team was asking for his autograph after the game. True story......

[@ajgarrow8217]

Take the time to watch this entire video and appreciate GREATNESS

[@PockyCandy]

This is, most likely, going to be the longest football video I will ever make. So don't expect anything this lengthy again. This particular video contains every decent, good, great, and mind-blowing play of Adrian Peterson's career at Oklahoma. This will also be the last video that is numbered, since the numbers confuse people. Any objections?

[@kitchd8615]

do you consider AD to be a top 3 greatest Running Back?

[@PockyCandy]

Kitch D I'm a Vikings fan....so I'm not the most unbiased person in the world. If we are talking about only college, from the players I've been able to watch, he's in the conversation. It's pretty much impossible to say who is better than who. I think that Dickerson, Dorsett, Peterson, Walker, Jackson, Sanders, Campbell, Grange, Blanchard/Davis, and maybe Bush are all roughly on the same level (and I'm leaving out a lot of good backs who were probably just as good). But, and this is just my opinion: In terms of the ability to run, Peterson is in a class by himself. But that's just the opinion of a very partial Vikings fan who has grown up watching AD.

[@ianmiles8635]

+PockyCandy this sounds about right.

[@kitchd8615]

+PockyCandy No Jim Brown? How dare you sir. Just joking. AD certainly has all the assets his strength is incredible and he reaches full speed quickly. personally I like Sanders cuts and ability to avoid tackles but I agree its more about a group of who is among the best rather than 1 over another.

[@oldskoolsvault5670]

Do you mind doing Michael Vick highlights

[@mrjohnnyd2172]

He is slept on the conversation of best running back ever

[@mwright_boomer]

12:55 The dude breaks 3 tackles while running laterally and right when he runs out of room on the sideline, shoots forward for five yards and a first down. The man was unbelievable.

[@TheNottyDred]

One of the best freshmen seasons I can ever remember. His longevity, even today speaks to his greatness. A truly remarkable athlete and football player.

[@Mc-my1pe]

Thank you for the great memories A.D. Such a great talent. We were so blessed he came to OU. Of all the backs in the 2000's, Adrian has been the best!!!! I sure hope we can start signing #1 tailbacks again.

[@americanmade9002]

This guy should of won the hiesman.... every year.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

Or the Heisman.

[@AHMAD-2324]

Stop telling that lie every season he was constantly hurt.

[@paulwilliams1807]

Missed ZERO games as he rushed for almost 2k yards as a Freshman...where he didn't even start the 1st 4 games....and missed like 1 game his sophomore season. They chose to rest him in a few others. So 1 season you can attribute that collarbone to

[@MrSPIDEY21]

No only his freshman yesr

[@lightingbolt8148]

Only year was his freshman year, next 2 he missed time

[@cjamill2641]

watched the entire hour .. one of the best running backs I've ever seen. glad that you included every decent run he's had ..

[@playamade2948]

Most of these highlights is from his freshman year meaning he was only 19 years young..what a beast AD all day 💯

[@salemshepard6883]

The first 25min was his freshman year.

[@petejones5260]

He looks like an NFL starter as a freshman.

[@patrickharrison1913]

Yes, he could have legitimately been in the NFL at 18 year old. He ran a 10.3 100m at 190lbs at age 19. That is unreal.

[@ANDDIRECTLLC]

This guy has the best attribute of every great back!

[@christophercottrell8227]

To still be going in the NFL, AD is a machine. A violent runner at OU from day one, he will go down as an all-time great, not only at OU, but in the NFL too.

[@johnpoulton9446]

Keep your highlights coming !!!!!!!!!!! almost everybody thinks highlights are simply long TD runs. these have all the ones that should be appreciated. the 6 yd run when the RB (AD here and all the others youve made!) makes the LB miss and drags the other guy the last few yds. thats GREAT football !! thank you for your posts !!!!

[@PockyCandy]

Yeah, I wish that more highlight makers would include more "mundane" six yard runs in their videos. Those are often the best runs in the video. I've actually had comments asking me why I include boring runs in my videos: If I only had long runs, the video would be very short hahahaha

[@Elijandre]

As a huge AD 28 fan I have to say thanks 10000 for this video! Appreciate your effort in making this, it shows in the quality! Keep up the great work!

[@PockyCandy]

You're welcome ^_^ Are you also a Vikings fan like me?

[@Deshawn_88]

I've never seen someone run with so much anger.

[@krb0123]

He is so insanely good

[@americanmade9002]

This young man should of won the biggest trophy in collage football

[@smallbizok]

I just couldn't get enough of AD. Thanks for sharing these highlights.

[@boomerkilpain4787]

Probably the best clips of ADRIAN PETERSON I've seen yet. 🅾️

[@YusukeKnight]

One of my favorite Running Backs of all time AP

[@christophermorales1509]

Gets me so pumped to watch this. Such a violent, galloping horse wearing my team’s gear. Around you or through you to the endzone.

[@ianmiles8635]

PockyCandy you once again prove that you don't know how to make a weak video. Great job man. Thank you!

[@DwightPlowden]

Sooner fan will never forget and always love AD!!!

[@zacoriahiii]

THE PUNISHMENT HE'S TAKEN AND THE PAIN HE'S GIVEN IN A CAREER, IS SIMPLY ASTONISHING! THIS DUDE. THEN THE NFL?! THEE BEST I-BACK FOR CERTAIN!

[@Jdub14000]

He was a beast on NCAA football 2004.

[@brycewilson1909]

i'm almost 30 years old, and i think Adrian Peterson is the best running back i've seen play in my lifetime.....just incredible

[@YoFaygo]

Probably the only football player that could have went straight to the NFL from high school

[@patrickharrison1913]

I think Herschel Walker could have also but I agree its a very short list.

[@williamivery1809]

Herschel Walker and Marcus Dupree

[@henrywilson753]

Actually it happened. 1991 NFL 6th overall draft pick, DT Eric Swann never played college football. He played high school and in the NFL for nearly 10 yrs.

[@williamivery1809]

@Chris P. Bacon Yes! 👍

[@leonardshevlin7260]

Maybe Randy Moss? And Aaron Rodgers probably thought he could. 😃

[@mariusb209]

This channel is pure gold

[@bigkfromtx9526]

1 hour worth of highlights dang you work hard

[@cale115]

Saw him knock a couple tacklers unconscious meeting him around the edge at Memorial, holy shit it was loud and then the defender just slumps, rough. One was against an early crap non con opponent near the sideline on the press box side around OU’s own 30 or so, hope I see it on here. Thanks for the highlight edits.

[@YourUpperLip1]

6’2 215lbs that ran a 4.40 and could squat 500+ at 19…. The most physically dominant HB to ever play college football. I had been a Vikings fan since Moss/Carter, but then there was a few down years. When they picked him I was ecstatic. Then when he put up almost 300 yds as a rookie against the Chargers I was completely sold. Then he tears both his ACL and MCL, rehabs at this insane speed, and comes 9 yards (and 1 play) short of the NFL season record. Truly a legend.

[@playamade2948]

Bro these videos are greatly appreciated

[@rockabye_baby187]

The first time I saw him run the ball 😳 dude was unstoppable.

[@americanmade9002]

I was in Norman his first game and it was Awsome

[@devontecaples1993]

He really gone have 24 hrs worth of highlights in his life. Pretty cool

[@shottashabazz6721]

I’m sure everybody has noticed this but PockyCandy uploaded over a hour of footage of this mutant of a running back. Like somebody said in the comment section he could have played in the NFL straight out of HighSchool. Just a freak of nature. He had size, speed, power, running back and one other element that only a few possessed but every running back should have is furious anger. Nobody can tell me he wasn’t angry on his runs. The defense were talking trash and he fed off that and he dished out punishment.

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

What makes the Classic Tailback series so awesome is that NCAA FBS is kind of a Running League still. Running the ball won titles; as recently as 2014 Ohio State rushed for 200+ yards in both Playoff games. Alabama Dynasty did not use Elite QBs who could start 10 games yet in the NFL.

[@jobu88]

I still can't believe we didn't get a national title or a Heisman with AD. If we had only had him in 2003.......

[@connorhein5532]

32:29 best run of his college career imo

[@c.delanepolo6530]

I just watched it lol lol

[@ANDDIRECTLLC]

Dough Baby top 2 def!

[@christophermorales1509]

That run is iconic. Every fan will remember that.

[@c.delanepolo6530]

Facts 💯

[@c.delanepolo6530]

26:25.....

[@chrisnipper8573]

The Best question and answer in Oklahoma history...Adrian Peterson I am all in on going to Texas, "Coach Mack Brown, if I go to Texas, will I have a chance to compete?" Coach Mack Brown "Cedrick Benson has said that he is coming back next year, so he will be the Starter!" Hall of Fame Player Adrian Peterson "Ok!" Thank you so much Mack Brown for making the Worst Mistake in College Football History....and btw when Adrian Peterson played against Cedrick Benson..😂😂😂

[@calebcone4330]

Incredible. Thanks for the video.

[@eugeneweeks3325]

This dude is second only to Barry Sanders. Dude is an absolute monster.

[@JahzaraDaddy]

Great job with this video and all your videos. This one of my favorites.

[@PockyCandy]

Thanks ^_^

[@matthewnuhfer6851]

I love watching this guy play. Top 5 all time great runner imo

[@cadenghannam4225]

ya know he’s filthy when he has an hour long highlight tape

[@BayPawLobeezy_World]

He was him from the jump. Top 5 greatest rb ever! Yeah nigga i said ever!

[@christophermorales1509]

They were laughing about him being in the hunt for a Heisman, but that was no joke. In retrospect he was the best player in the country as a freshman.

[@Monty_McFly]

Another great video Mr. Candy...and shout out to Jamal "dirty Bird" Anderson who was the commentator in the beginning of the vid...I'm sure his college highlights are impossible to find...

[@PockyCandy]

Yeah, I looked but couldn't find any of Anderson's highlights.

[@musafawundu6718]

Thanks for the highlights...

[@BigSwo2909]

It’s crazy to think the about of wear & tear he had on his body coming into the NFL. I wonder if he had only played say 2 years of college would he have broken Smith & Payton’s rushing records. Truly a remarkable running back. Especially when you consider how big he is and how high he runs. Absolute 1st ballot hall of famer.

[@biggalaxy9102]

I'm the biggest Walter Payton fan & I have to say, Adrian Peterson was a bigger, stronger & faster version of Walter Payton. A very aggressive & violent runner. Outstanding.

[@BigSwo2909]

@@biggalaxy9102 Walter was the toughest summa bitch though… that guy play in a different era and was literally a 1 man gang. Respect you 👊🏽🔥

[@warrenprice9257]

That man was a tough RB. AND ALWAYS IN BEAST MODE

[@cheesegyoza]

Should have been the second freshman Heisman Trophy winner.

[@quezchurch7217]

cheesegyoza lmao he should have been the first

[@jawn9424]

Bruh his burst was insane... to be 6’2 220 n be that fast n agile is crazy af lmao

[@jeromybilbrey420]

I’ll never forget his first run against TX!!!!! Inside the goal line! Haha

[@kyled1075]

Best college RB ever

[@brianjohnson221]

thanks for the video my fav rb Adrian Peterson#28

[@PockyCandy]

You're welcome! Making this video was a lot of fun :)

[@keithcarter412]

He should've won the Heisman

[@kitchd8615]

AD reminds me of Jim Brown but quicker. Such a physical runner and consistently tearing up defenses. Every down something happens.

[@BreuckelensFinest]

Kitch D AD actually reminds me of Walter Payton. But he's a bigger, stronger & faster Sweetness. They both have very simular running styles. Both are beautiful to watch. I'm just glad to be alive to have seen both play.

[@THarjo-ks6pf]

In his prime, 4 quarters of A.D would wear a defense down. Loved seeing him truck defenders

[@patrickharrison1913]

As great as Brown was, AD was much much faster than Jim Brown.

[@Ginga]

6:43 Mark Clayton vicious crackback block

[@darksunridah]

Adrian Peterson is the greatest of all time. PERIOD

[@waxlauren3669]

Definitely got robbed of a Heisman his freshman year...no question!

[@WalterWhiteFootballSharing]

In the NFL "We may never see the likes of Him Again" A 2000 yard 2012 season. The Man blew out his knee and came back angry and twice as powerful like he did nothing but lift weights for the entire Recovery. Probably Some HGH was used; no effective testing had been agreed upon for HGH as of 2012. Todd Gurley; Melvin Gordon; Zeke, Saquan, Sony Michel, Guice, Chubb, may be great; will not get 2000 Rushing Yards; unless they have a terrible QB and rushing is all they have. Which is why 2012 AP is so amazing, that's Christian Ponder handing off to him; a Guy who can't take full advantage of 8-9 man boxes by throwing TD's to Singled up WR's. A good QB makes a great RB greater; can't stack the box; or 15 yard comebacks to-50 yard bombs occur. Defensive coaches will always choose the 5 yard run over the 15 yard pass.

[@robeswin]

He was ready for the nfl right then and there

[@PockyCandy]

Yup. He could've played in the NFL as a freshman.

[@spiritbred8654]

Peterson ran so hard and it’s amazing that it took someone to hit him wrong on his knee for him to tear his ACL and MCL. 😳

[@stocksnsuch]

great video man honestly was the best back in college football!

[@zacoriahiii]

Ya Lookin' at the best I-back in the HISTORY OF FOOTBALL.

[@_TM13_]

i watched this whole vid lmao good vid

[@williamsims4535]

AP WAS A BEAST 100% I MEAN HANDS DOWN!

[@trainman42dude]

Could he say Peterson THE FRESHMAN one more time please!!!!!!!!

[@Bigfishfun333]

These are NOT highlights. But, uh, because most runs AD does are such works of art, well, ok, I guess these ARE "highlights". Good work.

[@ubereats1171]

G.O.A.T 🐐🐐🐐

[@redmustangredmustang]

I remember people talking about how good he was in high school in Texas. Palestine high school wasn't that good, but AD made the school respectable. He just had all that power and upright running as you saw in Eric Dickerson.

[@laduffle5946]

29:08 the fact he didnt step on his teamate 💯💨

[@Jordan5s]

Amazing

[@thaboykotakv1784]

Sucks that he didn’t win the heisman. He wasn’t even in the race for a heisman. I remember when ou blew people at. That’s when we had a defense. We are starting to have a defense slowly now since stoops is gone. I played like him when I was a kid. I loved being a running back because of him.

[@solomoncooper6491]

GOAT!

[@darrelljones3965]

26:16 🙌🏾🙌🏾

GREAT MOVES SPEED AND DETERMINATION

[@JadieJamz]

I'm seeing a lot of horse collar tackles from the 50:00 Mark and on. I coulda swore they changed the rules by then.

[@MrRyan-wu4jx]

Horse collar tackle wasn’t a penalty in NCAA until 2008, a year after Peterson went pro. It had been an NFL penalty since 2005.

[@Doomlerious]

Let's take a moment to acknowledge the play of the Oklahoma Offensive Line. Almost constantly doing their jobs and finding their blocking assignments.

[@crom5423]

Big 12 ....look up and do a video on Byron Bam Morris of Texas Tech. Dude won the Doak Walker in 1993 Southwest Conference

[@c.delanepolo6530]

I remember him

[@nicholaswoods4055]

98 speed, 98 agility, 99 acceleration , 99 break tackle, 98 truck, 98 juke

[@twbryant88]

G.O.A.T.

[@SufficientlyCaffeinated]

12:52 99.99% of runningbacks would have been stopped in the backfield on that play but not AD

[@daltonmann4916]

i was one of those people watching the nebraska game from iraq!

[@FrankTichenor-g3l]

Yea its pure; motorla,went to Oklahoma the Tichenor Frank

[@dedrickmcconnell621]

I see a lot of Walter Payton in AP in the physicality he has, but I see a lot of O.J. too. I know some people will be upset about that, but he's about the same size as O.J.(6'1 212 to 217 area) and has the same finesse and agility!

[@BreuckelensFinest]

Dedrick McConnell You are 100% correct. I've always said he's a bigger stronger faster Walter Payton. But I definitely see OJ in there too bc of the tremendous speed and explosiveness. Great stuff.

[@joedorben3504]

Why would people be upset at the OJ comparison? OJ Simpson is a top 5 RB of all time, many would ague hes the GOAT RB, and they would have a strong case for it too

[@roberttate1845]

Nowadays 6-2 210 is a wide receiver!!!

[@earnestpeeplesjr8948]

I'll always remember how he stated he went to OU so he could win a Natty. Texas took on Jamaal Charles. Charles stated "he was gonna make us all forget about AP..." we did, Jamaal x1 Natty, AP x0. That's what I find as funny

[@gabrieljohnson4517]

So Jamal Charles was better than Peterson come on now

[@tbuff91]

Watching this makes me miss being part of the Big 12.. I realize the fan base wasn't big for Colorado considering most of CU's alum came from California but it was fun playing all those competitive Big 12 schools and for the most part Colorado held their own back in those days. I still hate Nebraska to this day.

[@THarjo-ks6pf]

Tman I went to the last BIG XII championship game CU played in vs OU. Peterson had a monster game

[@trillamannwinters6963]

We miss you and Nebraska we didn’t give a crap about the other two

[@warrenprice9257]

We need another RB like Adrian Peterson, our RB now like to run the ball right in the middle of those big lineman, the They need to learn to go outside

[@diegoholley9799]

pocky candy u did a hella good job on this and they will never see another running back like Mr Peterson in the NFL or in the NCAA the best period if u think diff u crazy ass fuck name another

[@reportedoften6417]

1:35 so happy he celebrated with the enemy lmao

[@drewlewis1538]

Too bad we didn't dominate Houston like we did when ap was there

[@patriceoneil7276]

The one player that should have sat out his sophomore year then go into the draft...

[@americanmade9002]

A great

[@tycalvert9633]

I'm not even a Choke-lahoma fan but AD is absolutely one of the best players in NCAA history

[@oklahomasoonersfootball]

It's Oklahoma for real

[@Will-fl4rk]

AN HOUR!?!?!?

[@PockyCandy]

Go big or go home, am i right?

[@Will-fl4rk]

guess so
