Adrian Peterson joins The Blitz to discuss what he’s up to these days and do a little bit of reflecting on his time in Minnesota. He wants to play this season, but are the phones ringing? Peterson discusses some of the popular front office opinions he continues to hear as his years in the NFL stack up. Injuries, among other things, are tough, but Peterson definitely doesn’t think he’s slowing down.
Despite some hard feelings, Peterson maintains respect for the organization he was a part of in Minnesota. Sure, some poor decisions were made, but he ultimately has plenty of good things to say about his time with the Vikings. Also, the future Hall of Famer explains why he didn’t attend the University of Texas. Peterson reflects on the conversation he had with Mack Brown where he was told he wouldn’t start his freshman year at Texas, and how that led to his decision to go to Oklahoma. Be sure to listen to the full fantastic interview here.
Make sure to catch The Blitz with Fred Faour and AJ Hoffman weekdays from 4-7pm on ESPN 97.5 and SportsMap 94.1 radio. You can listen live or on demand with the ESPN 97.5 radio app.
