Sports have always been almost inextricably tied to the sneaker world for such a long time. This year, some of that crossover was put on display with Jordan Brand’s announcement of having signed and welcomed Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman to the Jumpman team. However, rookies can make a splash too. Highly talented and scouted Arizona Cardinals rookie cornerback Patrick Peterson had a huge following even before ever playing an official NFL game. Now, we all can see why. Not only can he do it on defense, but he can also do it on… punt returns? Yes, Peterson has already run back 4 punt returns of 80 yards or more- a feat, which prompted the NFL Hall of Fame to ask for and then put on display the rookie’s size 12 Nike Zoom Vapor Carbon Fly. Expect many great things still to come from the sensational rookie.
