Matt Forte has been called the "Stephen Curry" of the NFL by Adrian Peterson.

“Matt Forte. What would I call him? I would call him Stephen Curry. Mr. Dependable. That’s what I would call him,” Peterson told Chicago reporters.

Peterson’s comments on Forte come a few weeks after Peterson settled a friendly debate with Jamaal Charles, who called himself the “LeBron James” of the NFL during training camp in August.

"I'll say I'm the Michael Jordan,'' Peterson said on a recent conference call with Kansas City-area media. "There's always the debate, would LeBron be better than Michael? So I'll say I'm the Michael Jordan of football.''

Forte, 29, is currently fourth in yards from scrimmage and sixth in rushing yards through six games in 2015.
