Draft Scout *Adrian Peterson News
08/01/10 - RB Adrian Peterson spent little time at the tam facility in the offseason, so he's the one person who didn't officially chime in on the root of his fumble problem, a hot topic in Minnesota throughout the offseason.
He had seven fumbles (six lost) and he has 20 fumbles in three years. Thirteen of those have resulted in turnovers.
"What I came up with is, it's all mental," Peterson said. "Basically, it's that simple. Just mentally being aware of my surroundings at all times. Knowing guys are definitely throwing those extra punches to knock it out at all times. So just mentally knowing that I have it high and tight at all times."
07/24/10 - RB Adrian Peterson skipped a mandatory minicamp last month to attend a day in his honor in Palestine, Texas, but coach Brad Childress said there is no rift between the two. "We're both men. It wasn't earth-shattering. It wasn't the end of the world by any stretch of the imagination," Childress told the Associated Press on Friday.
07/22/10 - RB Adrian Peterson created a stir by staying away from a three-day minicamp because he wanted to be in his hometown of Palestine, Texas, to celebrate a day in his honor.
There was speculation that Peterson was unhappy with his contract -- he has two years remaining and stands to make as much as $13 million in 2011 with escalators -- but he dismissed those rumors in an interview with NFL Network. So what's the issue with Peterson and why did he decide to train almost the entire offseason in Houston and away from the team? That remains unclear. The Vikings are going to need Peterson to prove he is a complete running back this season now that Chester Taylor has signed with Chicago as a free agent.
07/16/10 - RB Adrian Peterson refuted rumors he is unhappy with his contract. "You can put them to rest," he told an NFL Network reporter at the ESPYs.
Peterson will earn around $7 million in 2010 and between $11-13 million in 2011 depending on the number of escalator clauses he hits, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
06/16/10 - RB Adrian Peterson will not lose his license after pleading guilty to driving 99 mph in a 55 mph zone last November, according to the Associated Press. Authorities had said Peterson was clocked at 109 mph, but the plea at 99 mph allows him to keep his license (Minnesota state law allows a license to be revoked for driving more than 100 mph).
