Spielman on the return on Adrian Peterson

Friday, February 20 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said on Wednesday he expects star running back Adrian Peterson to stay with the team this season.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Rick Spielman, Minnesota Vikings General Manager:

    "Yeah, no, Adrian Peterson is under contract with us. he's a very unique football player. I'm sure Adrian is doing everything he can off the field. He made a mistake. He admitted to the mistake I'm sure he's doing everything he can to not only make himself better, not only as a football player, but also a better player off the field and that's the type of player and person that Adrian is. He's a suspended player right now and then we'll see where it goes from there. And I've said this before I don't think there's a team in the NFL that wouldn't want an Adrian Peterson calibre running back on their football team."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Rick Spielman, Minnesota Vikings General Manager:

    "You know we don't talk about our business about any player - not Adrian's or anyone's. I just know that Adrian Peterson is a pretty unique football player. And I've talked about this earlier on, you know he's a 30 year old running back, but I also know that people said that when and he was coming off his ACL and had maybe the best season a running back can have. And this is a running back that is very unique from a physical stand point. And you're taking about a guy that didn't take many hits on his body last year - only played one game. So I expect when Adrian Peterson comes back he's going to come back with a point to prove to everybody."
