The Facts:
When asked who has been the most impressive player so far, Adrian Peterson first bunched in all the QBs, then he singled out someone that really caught his eye – McKinnon. "He’s pretty impressive and there’s not too many guys who impress me like that, especially rookies coming in,” Peterson said of the rookie RB. “He’s been able to do some real good things in the offense, picking it up well and just his running style.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That shifty running style McKinnon credits to some of the college running backs he watched growing up, like Florida State’s Peter Warrick and Southern California’s Reggie Bush. Like Bush during his NFL career, McKinnon will be asked to do a little of everything on offense and special teams. His versatility was one of the reason the Vikings selected him in the third round as someone to complement Peterson and Matt Asiata. McKinnon was a quarterback, running back and kick returner at Georgia Southern.
