Adrian Peterson has yet to reach a decision as to whether or not to enter the NFL draft. Reports from the Dallas Morning News on Wednesday stated Peterson was going to join Dwayne Jarrett and others and declare for the draft. However, Peterson has made no such statements. Yesterday Peterson released a statement saying "I have spent the last few days considering my options to either enter the NFL draft or stay at OU. The facts are that I have not hired any representation and I have not declared for the draft".
In other early entrant news, Tedd Ginn Jr. is still mulling over his options. It was deemed he suffered a sprained foot while celebrating, after he returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown in the Tostitos BCS Championship Game. He will have to wear a walking boot for "a few weeks" according to his father, Tedd Ginn Sr.*
Florida is awaiting word on five juniors who are considering the NFL draft. They did receive good news yesterday however, when Andre Caldwell announced he will return to Florida.

Did Peterson state that the Dallas Morning News report was false? Or was he refuting that rumor so as not to steal the thunder of his own announcement and press conference?
I don't see the benefit of him not coming out early. If he wants a run at the MNC then he will have to consider the fact that the Sooners will still be good next year, but they will make their run with a new QB. Not the most ideal of situations. If he does come out, he will be a top 10 draft pick.
Peterson did state the DMN report was flase.
Peterson's going to love it out in Oaktown.
He would be risking a great deal by coming back. He will be the first RB taken in this years draft. Why would he come back?
Seems to me he could pull a Tyrone Wheatley and just hurt his draft status by coming back.
