Southern's Peterson gets his chance at NFL Combine

INDIANAPOLIS - Georgia Southern running back Adrian Peterson set record after record in Division 1-AA. <br> <br> Today, Peterson got to compete against the big boys of college football. <br> <br> Peterson said, ``When you get to this level, it doesn&#39;t matter where you played or where you come from. We&#39;re all on the same level here now.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Peterson&#39;s brother, Mike, already plays linebacker for the indianapolis Colts. <br> <br> At Georgia Southern, nobody was on Peterson&#39;s level. <br> <br> He rushed for 100 yards or more 54 times, an NCAA record for all divisions. He recorded 36 straight 100-yard games and finished with 6,559 yards -- a Division 1-AA record. <br> <br> Whether that translates to NFL success is another matter. <br> <br> His brother offered advice. Adrian said, ``He told me go out have fun, enjoy yourself and work hard. I&#39;m enjoying it and I&#39;m having a good time. It&#39;s been fun to see how well I match up with people from bigger schools.&#39;&#39;
