Even though Boss Tweed didn't grow up near Minnesota, he always had a fondness for Adrian Peterson. He dominated on the field with the speed to burn any defender combined with the strength to break any tackle. Watching Peterson dominate on the field was what first caused Boss Tweed to fall in love with the running back position and decide that he wanted to be a running back at the next level. Even when Tweed played Madden, the Vikings were always his favorite team to use and he learned the value of a strong rushing attack early on. Peterson's MVP season always served as an inspiration to Tweed. When Peterson came back from a torn ACL, everybody doubted him and thought he would never reach the same level again. He then proceeded to prove everybody wrong and had the best season of his career and won the MVP award after carrying the Vikings to the playoffs. Tweed had faced doubters during his career and has looked at the way Peterson proved doubters wrong as a guide for himself. Entering the league Tweed faced much doubt as a 17th round pick, but he is looking to rise above the expectations just like Peterson and perhaps someday have an even more accomplished career than Peterson. Maybe someday Tweed will be the one convincing a young football player to become a running back.
