METAIRIE, La. -- Heath Evans has been one of the boldest NFL analysts this offseason when it comes to predicting big things for Adrian Peterson with the New Orleans Saints.
Evans' confidence is based on two things: Peterson's history as a "freak of nature" and Evans' own history with the Saints' offense.
The NFL Network analyst believes the Saints can have the same kind of balance that they had during their 2009 Super Bowl season -- when Evans was the fullback before tearing his ACL in Week 7, and the Saints finished sixth in the NFL in rushing yardage.
