Professional career

2007 NFL Draft

On January 15, 2007, Peterson declared that he would forego his senior year of college and enter the 2007 NFL Draft.cite news | title=Peterson to Enter 2007 NFL Draft | url=http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/011507aaa.html | date=2007-01-15 | publisher=University of Oklahoma and CSTV| accessdate=2007-08-21] Concerns about his injuries suffered during college were noted by the media and potential NFL teams.cite news | title=Adrian Peterson runs through anger to the NFL | url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/draft/2007-04-18-sw-adrian-peterson_N.htm | last=Corbett | first=Jim | publisher="USA Today" |date=2007-04-18 | accessdate=2007-08-24] He started twenty-two out of thirty-one games in his college career and missed games due to a dislocated shoulder his first year, a high ankle sprain his sophomore year, and a broken collarbone his final year at Oklahoma. His durability was a consideration by at least two teams in their draft analysiscite news | title=Teams wary of Peterson's health | url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/don_banks/04/25/peterson/index.html | last=Banks | first=Don | publisher="CNN Sports Illustrated" | date=2007-05-21| accessdate=2007-08-25] , which impacted selection position.
