Adrian Peterson's handshake is impressive ...

... and so is his rushing ability.

The former Oklahoma star, a first-round pick of the Vikings this year, flashed the kind of talent he offers to his new team in Friday night's preseason game against the Jets. He had eight carries for 70 yards, including a dazzling 43-yard run as well as a three-yard touchdown. peterson.jpg

I spoke to him after the game, and he greeted me the way he greets anyone who comes up to him - with a handshake that is close to bonecrushing. I'm serious. No one shakes hands like that, unless it's someone trying to hurt you. But Peterson has always been like that. His father told him at a young age that when you meet someone, you look him in the eye and shake his hand.

Even Fox announcer Troy Aikman was stunned at Peterson's grip.

As for the more important matter of playing football, Peterson looks as if he'll have little trouble dealing with the jump from college. The kid is strong, he's fast, he's powerful. He's going to be good. Really, really good.
