Patrick Peterson taken 5th in the NFL Draft by Arizona Cardinals

How will Patrick Peterson look wearing red? We will soon find out as he was taken by the Arizona Cardinals with the 5th pick in the first round of the NFL Draft last night. According to ESPN analysts, the Cardinals did not necessarily have a glaring need in their defensive backfield but to the old "best athlete available" approach in drafting Peterson at number five as he was too good to pass up. ESPN's Gruden's only knock on Peterson was that he did not seeing him using his hands enough to get physical with receivers and bump them at the line of scrimmage. Peterson's athletic skills are off the charts and he graded very high at all the scouting combines. There is no reason to believe that Patrick Peterson will not have a stellar NFL career and may certainly be called on to be a return man some, at least early in his career. It will be inserting to see how things go for Peterson as he looks to establish himself as one of the NFL's best defensive players. Good luck Patrick! I know LSU fans will want to see you do well for yourself.
