DeMarco Murray was the guest host for Friday's portion of the Adrian Peterson Football Camp in Norman.Murray, who was drafted in the third round by the Dallas Cowboys in April, took some time out to speak with The Oklahoman.What is your favorite part about working camps like this?Just interacting with the kids and seeing the smile on their face. It just kind of lights you up inside.What was your first thought when you got drafted by the Cowboys?Unbelievable. I never thought in a million years I would go there. Just right up the road from here. I just feel blessed and it is a great opportunity for me.You have played in Cowboy Stadium before, but what is it like knowing that is your home stadium?It is going to be crazy. They have a great facility and the stadium speaks for itself. It is a blessing and every home game is going to be fun.What are you hearing about the current lockout situation?I really don't know, everything is mixed signals. I hear two weeks, I hear one month, I hear August. I pretty much hear the same thing everybody else does, just looking at it on ESPN.What was your most memorable game at Oklahoma?Definitely my freshman year, the Texas game. It was mine and Sam's first year playing in that game and we made a point to not lose it. I ended up coming out 2-2 in my career, but those games are always fun.What was your most memorable play at Oklahoma?When I broke the touchdown record last year here (at Owen Field) against Iowa State. It was a great moment for me and just an unbelievable feeling.Who is your NFL comparison at the running back?I'd like to think Ladainian Tomlinson. The way he is so elusive and can run inside and outside, catch the ball out of the backfield and pick up blocks. I definitely try to model my game after him.Is there any NFL defense you are excited to go against?None of them. There is not a particular defense I'm looking forward to. We don't play the Steelers or Ravens this year, so that is a plus.
