My hubby manages a sporting goods store and AD jerseys disappear in 1 day! My sister and family live near Minneapolis. They love AD. Glad he decided to join the Vikings. They love his attitude,work ethic and manners!

In reference to Matt: Yeah it's funny to see an undrafter player from Eastern Illinois be number 1 in NFL Jersey Sells. Just goes to show you don't have to come from a powerhouse college to be successful at the next level

I couldn't be happier for AD. It does bug me that I sometimes hear him called "AP" on the NFL Network and by some mis-informed and "mis-remembering" announcers instead of "AD". How hard is it to remember "AD"? The better nickname I have seen on some Viking blogs is "Purple Jesus". As long as he stays humble, hardworking, and healthy, he'll be a pleasure to watch and a source of pride for all of us out here in the Sooner Nation.

asdf. It is interesting to see some of the colleges these guys come out of. During a game you see a ton of Miami, Ohio St, and USC players, but then a bunch of colleges I have never heard of, or at least have never watched a game that they played

Yes, and my Sooners were beaten out by Eastern Illinois, Texas Christian, and Southern Miss on this list. For good measure ths list also includes powerhouses: New Mexico, Marshall, Old Miss, Minnesota, Miami (Ohio), Tennessee Chattanooga, Villanova, and Iowa.

This is a silly comment JJ. What college you go to has little to do with your success in the league. Even though I do love me some Vikings!
