    Seventh pick in the 2007 NFL Draft
    Running back for the Minnesota Vikings

Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname is 'A.D.' (All Day).
    He shares his name with another NFL running back, causing confusion among fantasy football owners.
    He narrated an EA Sports commercial that altered the outcome of Oklahoma's Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State.
    He skipped his senior season in college to enter the NFL Draft.
    He is injury prone, which is why he was selected in the draft lower than expected.
    He was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest (July 7, 2012).
    He was indicted on child abuse charges after disciplining his son with a switch (stick), leaving his son's legs lacerated (September 12, 2014).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He dealt with a tragic childhood. His father went to prison for eight years, his brother was killed by a drunk driver and his half-brother was murdered.
    He finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting as a freshman.
    He ran for an NFL-record 296 yards in a game against the San Diego Chargers (2007).
    Deion Sanders said of him, 'He has the vision of a Marshall Faulk, the power of a Terrell Davis, and the speed of an Eric Dickerson.'
