I was watching Comedy Central tonight and I saw a Reebok commercial starring Laurence Maroney. Showed him working out and stuff, kind of in the style of those Nike commercials. It was cool to see.

If it was a running back they wanted you wonder why Reebok took Maroney as a player on thier commercial instead of the champs RB Addai or Reggie Bush or even Adrian Petersen?

He was still one of the brightest rookie runningbacks. Companies don't have their choice of every player. Some will sign with Nike, some with Under Armor etc.

Those weren't real weights, though.

Because Bush has a contract with Adidas.

Oh O.K. Did not realize Bush already was signed

I see Petersen getting something done in a year or two with a major athletic supply company as I see him having a great start to his career IF he stays healthy which apparently is not a sure bet with his previous injuries.

Peterson's probably already got a shoe deal. Most heralded rookies sign them after declaring their intent to enter the draft, let alone being drafted.

Maybe so but have not heard it yet,Possibly his injury in college delayed the signing of an endorsement contract with interest with Nike,New Balance ect:?

Peterson signed with Nike prior to the draft.

As someone else pointed out the major players coming out in the college draft all have sponsors well before they're even drafted. Brady Quinn was drinking Myoplex during some of his pre-draft interviews for a reason...
