He also selected the first running back, Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson, with his seventh-round pick. Starting Team Irvin quarterback Russell Wilson will feel like a whole new man after taking 44 sacks this season (tied for third-most in the league). Gurley only had three carries for 18 yards, but was able to make it happen in the receiving game with two catches for 18 yards. Hopkins got Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters to bite on a double move and Wilson had plenty of time to throw as the defensive linemen went at half-speed.
