As noted in this story on Yahoo:

During a visit to Reggie Bush’s(notes) house in Los Angeles, there was a certain piece of memorabilia that caught the eye of All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson.

“I found myself walking up the steps, and I looked down right at this big Heisman Trophy just sitting in this real nice case,” Peterson said Friday during a break from his football camp. “I was like, ‘Awww!’ I wanted to ask him where Matt Leinart was so I could go over there and take mine. But it’s all good. It is what it is.”

Nearly five years later, Peterson still covets the two trophies he was denied by the Trojans.

“When I look back, I had an outstanding career,” Peterson said. “There were some things that – a national championship, I didn’t accomplish that. I fell short. I had the opportunity my freshman year, and I don’t even want to talk about that.

“I definitely wanted to win the Heisman Trophy, and that didn’t work out. There was definitely a lot that I wanted to accomplish, but unfortunately I didn’t do it.”
