ADRIAN PETERSON

PROFILE:  Peterson is a quick back who is a superb special teams player.  He has always done well when the Bears call his number, and is a reliable player through and through.  He probably defines a Chicago Bear better than anyone else on the team.  He will be counted on more this season as the direct backup to Benson.

2007 OUTLOOK:  Peterson should see spot duty as a running back and maybe even get some goal line carries, as he has a nose for the end zone.  If Benson falters, Adrian would have another chance to shine.
