Vanderbilt running back Sedrick Alexander spoke about a myriad of topics during his session on stage at SEC Media Days. Originally from Austin, Texas, Alexander revealed who his favorite NFL player was growing up, and who he models his game after.
"Well, I always grew up and wanted to be like Adrian Peterson. That's the reason why I wear 28. I've been watching Adrian Peterson ever since he was at Oklahoma. I was a young kid. But ever since he was at Oklahoma and he went to the Minnesota Vikings. I've been watching him. So I always wanted to be like AP when I was growing up," Alexander said.
Alexander didn't go into detail about rooting for a Sooners RB as an Austin kid, but the Commodores RB found pay dirt like his idol last season. Vandy's top ballcarrier scored 11 rushing touchdowns in 13 games as a junior, and caught another four scores through the air.
It'll be interesting to see if Alexander takes on an expanded role this season with the departure of Heisman Trophy runner-up Diego Pavia.
