ADRIAN PETERSON TRADE

Adrian Peterson’s era in New Orleans is over after just four games. According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, the Saints and Arizona Cardinals agreed on a swap on Tuesday to postpone the 32-year-old running back from the Cardinals for a conditional draft pick. Peterson signed a two-year $ 7 million deal with the Saints this off-season, with one year and $ 3.5 million guaranteed after the Minnesota Vikings did not sign him again.

Thought to be rejuvenated in the Saints’ high-powered offense, Peterson instead fought on the pitch and with his role. In four games, Peterson only had 81 yards on 27 carries for an average of 3 yards per carry and no touchdowns. Peterson sometimes seemed unhappy to share carries with running backs Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. In week 1, cameras caught Peterson yelling at Saints manager Sean Payton while on the sidelines. Peterson later said he was just telling Payton that the team should run the ball more.

However, after that first week game, Peterson also said he didn’t sign up for a timeshare role at the running back.

‘I didn’t sign up for nine shots, though. But unfortunately that is how the game unfolded, ‘Peterson said.

‘I didn’t sign up for nine shots, though. But unfortunately that is how the game unfolded, ‘Peterson said.

After a week 4 win where he only had 4 carries for 4 yards against the Miami Dolphins, Peterson complained about his role.

‘I haven’t adapted yet, but we’re winning … The win is fine. But obviously, being the kind of player I am, knowing that I have so much to do, it’s difficult. So at the end of the day, I know things are going to work out somehow. I don’t know how things will go. But things will be resolved. ‘

For the Cardinals, the move gives them a chance to stabilize their running back situation as top rusher David Johnson recovers from a wrist injury. The Cardinals tried to use Chris Johnson, Andre Ellington and Kerwynn Williams in the running back, but they didn’t find much success. If Peterson really has a lot to do, he’ll have a chance to prove it in Arizona.

ADRIAN PETERSON UPDATE

Adrian Peterson managed 17 yards on nine carries and captured 3-of-3 targets for 16 yards in Washington’s week 9 defeat to Atlanta. The negative play script combined with more injuries on the offensive line doomed Peterson, who was also enveloped by a three-yard TD from Kapri Bibbs in the second half. And Peterson’s best run of the game was nullified by a penalty. The Skins are likely to head to Tampa Bay in week 10 without LT Trent Williams (thumb surgery), LG Shawn Lauvao (knee) and RG Brandon Scherff (shoulder).

ADRIAN PETERSON VIKINGS | MINNESOTA VIKINGS

On January 15, 2007, Peterson stated that he would be giving up his senior year of college and entering the 2007 NFL Draft. Upon entering the league, he was known as a tall, straight runner who possessed a rare combination of speed, strength, agility, size and vision, along with a highly aggressive running style. His rare talent as both a great fugitive and a power racer has often raised comparisons with legends of the past, including Eric Dickerson, Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, OJ Simpson, Franco Harris and Jim Brown.

Concerns about his injuries sustained in college have been noticed by the media and potential NFL teams. He started 22 out of 31 games in his college career and had a shoulder dislocation during the first year (although he didn’t miss any games), a sprained ankle during the second year and a broken collarbone during the final year in Oklahoma . Its durability was a consideration for at least two teams in their project analysis, which affected the selection position.

Prior to the 2007 NFL Draft, Peterson was compared by professional football scouts to Eric Dickerson. ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper, Jr. said of Peterson: ‘You can argue, [Peterson] is the best player in this draft, if not, definitely one of the top three.’

At the NFL Combine, Peterson measured 6’1½ ‘and 217 pounds; he had a timekeeping of between 4.38 and 4.40 seconds in the 40-yard run, had a vertical jump of 38.5 inches (0.98 m) and performed well in positional exercises. He solidified his status as a probable top 10 pick in the draft, probably revealing more about his mental strength than any psychological test or team interview could.

On April 28, 2007, Peterson was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round with the seventh overall pick in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Peterson was the first running back selected and the first of three Oklahoma Sooners to be drafted into the 2007 NFL Draft. At a press conference during the draft, Peterson announced: ‘My collarbone, I would say, is 90% healed. Many teams know this and I don’t see that it prevents me from being prepared for the season. ‘

Peterson believed he was a player to build a franchise on. In an interview with IGN after the NFL Draft, he said: ‘I am a player who is coming with the determination to change a team. I want to help my team make it to the playoffs, win … and run wild. I want to bring people to the stands. I want people to come to the game to see what I can do next. Such things can change the entire attitude of an organization. I want to win.’ He later told the Star Tribune in an interview: ‘I want to be the best player I’ve ever played this game.’ Almost three months after he was drafted, he was signed by the Vikings on July 29, 2007. His contract was worth $ 40.5 million over five years, with $ 17 million guaranteed.

Peterson started the 2016 season quietly with just 31 yards on the run in a 25-16 win over the Tennessee Titans. With Vikings playing their first ever regular season game at US Bank Stadium in week 2 against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, Peterson rushed 19 yards to leave the game with an apparent right knee injury. . The next day, it was revealed that his right knee had a torn meniscus.

On September 22, Peterson underwent successful surgery to repair his meniscus. It was also revealed that the knee had a mild LCL sprain but did not need surgery. He was placed in reserve for injuries on September 23, 2016. On December 17, the Vikings activated Peterson on the active roster. He is back in action against the Indianapolis Colts. He had six carries for 22 yards against the Colts. Despite playing just three games and rushing just 72 yards in 2016, Peterson was still ranked 98th by his peers in the 2017 NFL Top 100 Players.

On February 28, 2017, the Vikings announced that they would not exercise Peterson’s 2017 option on his contract, making him a free agent at the start of the 2017 championship year. If the Vikings exercised the option, they would have to pay him 18. million dollars for the 2017 season.

His fastest sprint was recorded at 4.4 seconds.

ADRIAN PETERSON ROOKIE YEAR

Peterson started his outstanding rookie season with high expectations for himself; announced ambitious goals, including being named Offensive Rookie of the Year and running over 1,300 yards over the course of the year. The NFL running record for a rookie is held by Eric Dickerson at 1,808 yards. With just 11 weeks into his rookie season with Vikings, Peterson was well on his way to Dickerson’s record and considered one of the NFL’s elite running backs.

On August 10, 2007, Peterson made his professional debut in a preseason game against the St. Louis Rams. Peterson ran for 33 yards on 11 carries with a hold for two yards. On September 9, 2007, Peterson ran 103 yards on 19 goals in his first NFL regular season game against the Atlanta Falcons. In addition to his fast run, he scored his first professional football touchdown on a 60-yard pass reception from quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. During his first three regular season games, his 431 yards (271 running and 160 receiving) from scrimmage are a team record. For his performance across the three games, Peterson received the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month award for both September and October 2007.

His breakout game as a pro came on October 14, 2007 against the Chicago Bears, highlighted by a three touchdown performance and a record 224 yards over 20 carries. Peterson set additional team records for a rookie during this game, which included the most 100-yard run games and the longest scrimmage touchdown run. He also set an NFL rookie record with all-purpose 361 yards in a single game. His 607 yards during the first five games of the season are second in NFL history to Eric Dickerson. For his performance, he was named the attacking player of the week for the first time in his career. After Peterson’s record-breaking performance, Deion Sanders, now an NFL Network analyst, said of him: ‘ He has the vision of a Marshall Faulk, the power of an Earl Campbell and the speed of an Eric Dickerson. Let’s pray he has the stamina of an Emmitt Smith. He has also been compared to Walter Payton and Tony Dorsett by Star Tribune sports reporter Jim Souhan.

Three weeks later, on November 4, 2007, Peterson broke his own franchise record and NFL single-run racing record (previously held by Jamal Lewis since 2003) when he plunged 296 yards on 30 carries and three touchdowns against. the San Diego Chargers in a home game in Minneapolis. That game was his second game of over 200 yards of running, a feat no other beginner has ever accomplished in a season. His historic performance earned him his second Offensive Player of the Week title in his rookie season. In addition to the NFL record for single-game runs, it took him over 1,000 yards to run the year after just eight games. His 1,036 yards represent the best eight-game performance by a rookie in NFL history.

In honor of Peterson’s record-breaking performance against the San Diego Chargers, the jersey he wore that day was sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. On November 11, 2007, just a week later, Peterson injured the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee in a game against the Green Bay Packers. The injury occurred in the third quarter of a 34-0 defeat at Lambeau Field over a low tackle from Packers cornerback Al Harris. Almost a month after his injury, Peterson returned to action on December 2, 2007 against the Detroit Lions by scoring two touchdowns and running for 116 yards.

On December 17, 2007, Peterson played his first game of Monday Night Football, where he had 78 yards running, 17 yards receiving and two touchdowns against the Chicago Bears. The next day, he was named as the initial running back for the NFC Pro Bowl 2008 team. On January 2, he was named The Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He was named to the Pro Football Writers Association’s All-Rookie team for the 2007 season.

On February 10, 2008, Peterson won the 2008 NFL Pro Bowl MVP award with 16 carries for 129 yards while running alongside two touchdowns. The 129-yard run was the second in Pro Bowl history. He was the first rookie since Marshall Faulk in 1994 to win the Pro Bowl MVP award. Peterson and Faulk are currently the only NFL players to win both the NFL Pro Bowl MVP and Rookie of the Year awards in the same year. Peterson finished second in fast running (1,341 yards) in the 2007 season behind LaDainian Tomlinson, who finished with 1,474 fast yards.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ADRIAN PETERSON

Peterson ran for 17 yards on nine carries and added 16 yards on three catches during Sunday’s 38-14 defeat to Atlanta.

The exit triggered a three-game streak in which Peterson scored at least 95 yards per game. The veteran has had some monstrous plays in Washington this season, but has been kept within two yards of a fetch in three of five games. Next up is a Tampa Bay defense that got beaten up in passing play but is holding opponents at a respectable 4.2 yards per carry.

ADRIAN PETERSON SUSPENSION

Peterson was indicted by a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas, on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child on September 12, 2014. He was subsequently disabled for a game by the Vikings. Photos posted on TMZ.com revealed her 4-year-old son’s legs with cut-like wounds. Peterson’s 2014 NFL season came to a close after referee Shyam Das ruled in favor of the NFL on November 18, 2014, saying, ‘The league can keep Adrian Peterson on the commissioner’s exempt list’, ending any possibility that the Minnesota Vikings running back will play again that season. The prosecution in the case alleged that Peterson used a tree branch to repeatedly beat his young son on the back, buttocks, genitals, on the ankles and legs. Peterson described the tool as a ‘switch’, a form of punishment that was used on Peterson during his childhood.

On November 4, 2014, Peterson said he did not challenge the felony charge of recklessly assaulting his four-year-old son. He avoided a prison sentence after reaching a plea deal with a Texas court. He used a wooden tool to discipline his son in Spring, Texas in May and was placed on probation and fined $ 4,000. He was also ordered to undergo 80 hours of community service. In December 2014, Harold Henderson, the NFL-appointed referee for Peterson’s appeal, claimed Peterson’s unpaid suspension until at least the spring of 2015. However, the NFL Players Association questioned Henderson’s objectivity. and claimed he was ‘considering immediate legal remedies’ to the decision. On August 4, 2016, ESPN. com reported that the NFL won an appeal in a case against Peterson, overturning a ruling that overturned Peterson’s suspension and fine. The original ruling resulted when Peterson said he did not contest a felony charge after injuring his son.

LOVERRO: The marks left on his son are also part of Peterson’s record

Adopted from: www.washingtontimes.com

Did the Washington Redskins sign the same Adrian Peterson who was suspended from the NFL for six games in 2014 and fined in connection with child abuse allegations against his son?

Or is this a different Adrian Peterson? I’m not sure.

See, I looked for that information in some of the local news outlets about the Redskins signing the 33-year-old running back, but I couldn’t find it – not in the Washington Post, not in the Washington Times. Maybe I missed it, I don’t know.

Or maybe this is such a reversed business that it has lost its way.

Or maybe this is such a reversed business that it has lost its way.

I mean, how many future Hall of Fame running backs have been suspended in this league for six games after an investigation into allegations of hitting his son with a ‘switch’ so badly that it left horrible marks on the 4-year-old’s body?

It happens so often that it’s not even worth mentioning when the team you cover signs this player

ADRIAN PETERSON ACL

Make no mistake, some athletes never come back from injuries like Adrian Peterson’s ACL tear. Last year, if anyone had told those in the NFL community that Peterson was in the running for the 2012 MVP, most, if not all, would have laughed.

Except Peterson.

The future running back of the Minnesota Vikings Hall of Fame challenged medical textbooks, anatomical knowledge, and clinical reason during his return from reconstructive surgery after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee last December.

It’s impossible to put into words how incredible Peterson’s story continues to become week after week. Believe me, I’ve tried.

Many times.

Words like ‘stunning’ or ‘superhuman’ don’t even scratch the surface.

To get an appreciation of what Peterson is doing, let’s take a look at what exactly an ACL is, what happens when the ACL is torn, and the extensive surgery and rehabilitation that is required before an athlete thinks of returning. to football.

Officially called anterior cruciate ligament, the ACL is located within the center of the knee joint as one of its four main stabilizing ligaments. Like other ligaments, the ACL is a band of tissue that connects two bones and serves to coordinate their movement as well as prevent some abnormal movement.

Specifically, the ACL connects the lower end of the femur (thigh bone) to the upper end of the tibia (shinbone). In this way, it generally extends from the upper outer to the lower inner corners of the joint.

By connecting the femur and tibia, the ACL helps prevent the following movements:

Lower leg moving forward relative to the thigh
The lower leg is rotated inward towards the midline of the body
By preventing these two movements, the ACL helps a player balance, cut and change direction on the knee without difficulty. Without a functional ACL, knee instability and ‘sagging’ would make a career as an NFL running back impossible.

The ACL can only resist so many abnormal movements. If an external blow forces the knee to move forward or twist inward hard enough, the ACL gives way and tears. Classically, this occurs when a tackle forces the knee of a planted leg inward.

This is exactly what happened to Peterson.

After Vikings decided to end Peterson’s 10-year run in purple by signing Latavius ​​Murray in March 2017, the 2012 NFL MVP signed with the Saints on April 25, concluding a two-year contract to play. with Drew Brees and starting over after a last season full of injuries in Minnesota.

ADRIAN PETERSON SWITCH

It had been five months since Adrian Peterson had talked to his 4-year-old son. Somewhere deep inside, Peterson thinks he knows what awaited him on the other side of the line. But he couldn’t be sure until he made the call last week.

‘When he spoke on the phone, he said,’ Hey Dad, ‘Peterson said in an interview with USA TODAY Sports on Thursday. ‘I was like,’ Hey man, how are you? ‘ ‘I’m fine.’ I was like, ‘I love you.’ He was like, ‘I love you too, dad. Can I come to your house? ”

Peterson hopes to be able to see his son in the coming weeks: the end of a tumultuous time in their lives and what Peterson hopes will be a new beginning for him as a parent.

Adrian Peterson, the footballer, will be back one day. He’s sure of it, even after the NFL suspended the Minnesota Vikings star on Tuesday for at least the remainder of the 2014 season after his request for non-challenge on a reckless assault charge.

Peterson had expressed remorse for hurting his son and claimed he was disciplining him – with a ‘change’ from a tree – the way he was disciplined as a child. If Peterson meets the court’s requirements, no convictions will be recorded in his record. But Peterson, a father of six children and six women, knows he faces a lifelong challenge to prove he is not an absent parent, not a child rapist, not one of the demons he was portrayed as after the accident. .

‘I’ll never use a switch again,’ Peterson said. ‘There are several situations in which a child has to be disciplined until timeout, taking away his toys, making them take a nap. There are so many different ways to discipline your children. ‘

In the 90-plus-minute phone interview – Peterson’s first large public speech since his 9/11 indictment – he spoke with USA TODAY Sports on a wide variety of topics, including why he refused to participate in a hearing with the NFL before Commissioner Roger Goodell has suspended him as well as his future with the Minnesota Vikings.

‘I would love to go back and play in Minnesota to get an idea and see if my family still feels comfortable there,’ said Peterson. ‘But if they say hey, they could free me, then so be it. I would feel good knowing that I gave everything I had in me. ‘

Regardless of his footballing future, Peterson wanted to make it clear that his main focus now is to mend his relationship with his son and try to make people understand that, contrary to Goodell’s remarks in passing on his ban, his remorse is real.

‘Nobody knows how I felt when I turned my son over after spanking him and seeing what I had left on his leg,’ Peterson said. ‘Nobody knows Dad sat there and apologized to him, hugged him and told him I didn’t want to do this to you and how sorry I am.

‘I love my son. I love my children, my family. As I said after accepting the crime request, I take full responsibility for my actions. I’m sorry for the situation. I love my son more than any of you can imagine. ‘

ARREST OF ADRIAN PETERSON

According to ESPN, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of the Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson in connection with a child abuse incident. Peterson has not yet been taken into custody.

The warrant stems from a case in Montgomery County, Texas where Peterson allegedly was charged with reckless or negligent child injury. Police reports obtained by Sports Radio 610 in Houston claim that Peterson’s four-year-old son suffered extensive cuts and bruises during a trip to Houston to visit his father. In the report, the boy claims that Peterson hit him with a switch.

A doctor quoted in the report called the boy’s injuries ‘child abuse’.

As a result of the mandate, Peterson must transform into authority.

“He’ll give up as soon as possible when he settles with the authorities, but we don’t have time right now,” Hardin told Minneapolis Star-Triune’s Matt Venzel.

The Vikings released a press release claiming they have disabled the star returning for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. Peterson was absent from practice on Wednesday (the team said it wasn’t due to injuries) but returned on Thursday.

ADRIAN PETERSON ABUSE

A warrant was issued in Montgomery County, Texas for the arrest of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, after he was indicted on a felony charge of reckless or negligent injury to a child. A CBS Houston report contains some details and they are disturbing.

Dal report:

Peterson’s son had pushed another of Peterson’s sons out of a motorcycle video game. As punishment, Peterson grabbed a tree branch – which he always referred to as a ‘switch’ – removed the leaves and repeatedly hit the child.

The beating would have resulted in numerous injuries to the baby, including cuts and bruises to the baby’s back, buttocks, ankles, legs, and scrotum, along with defensive wounds to the baby’s hands. Peterson then texted the boy’s mother, saying that a particular injury would piss her off at me for her leg. I got pretty good with the switch tail. ‘

Peterson would also text message the baby’s mother that he ‘felt sick after the fact that when I noticed the switch was winding hitting the I (sic) thigh’ and also recognized the injury to the baby’s scrotum in a text message, saying, “I got him crazy once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all ripping that butt off when needed! I start timing them out. N spare the hype for necessary memories! ‘

In further text messages, Peterson would say: ‘I never exaggerate! But all my kids will know, hey dad has a biggie heart but don’t play any games when it comes to acting well. ‘

According to police reports, the child, however, had a slightly different story, telling authorities that ‘Dad Peterson hit me in the face’. The child also expressed concern that Peterson would punch him in the face if the child reported the incident to authorities. He also said he was hit by a belt and that ‘there are a lot of belts in dad’s closet’. He added that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was hit by the switch while his pants were down. The boy told his mother that Peterson ‘likes seat belts and switches’ and ‘has a whooping room’.

Peterson is said to have been calm and cooperative with authorities, apparently in the belief that he had done nothing wrong. He was disabled on Friday afternoon by the Vikings for Sunday’s game against the Patriots.

Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, issued this statement:

“Adrian Peterson was informed that he was indicted in a grand jury in Montgomery County, Texas for Injury to a child. The accused conduct involves the use of a switch to spank her son. This allegation follows Adrian’s full cooperation with the authorities who have investigated the matter. Adrian is a loving father who used his parenting judgment to discipline his son. He used the same kind of discipline with his son that he experienced as a child growing up in East Texas. Adrian never hid from what happened. He cooperated fully with the authorities and voluntarily testified before the grand jury for several hours. Adrian will address the allegations with the same respect and responsiveness that led to this investigation from the start.

Peterson’s position is that he is simply giving his children the same punishment he received when he was their age, and which he thinks has helped teach him responsibility and manners. However, he himself obviously wasn’t getting that punishment from someone renowned as a physical specimen even among other NFL players.

Peterson started week 1, even though his status was listed as questionable. He rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns in his first game in eight months after his ACL and MCL snatch.

The game was drawn at 34 in the fourth quarter when Peterson ran for 26 yards, setting the Vikings for a winning basket with three seconds left.

The Vikings chose the basket, which sent them to the playoffs, but also left Peterson nine meters from breaking the record. Peterson became the second player (Earl Campbell, 1980) to run 150 or more yards in seven games during an NFL season and had 1,019 yards after contact. He finished the 2012 season with 348 carries for 2,097 yards of running, the second ever for a running back in a single season.

Vikings improved from 3–13 in 2011 to 10–6, qualifying as the NFC’s sixth seed in the playoffs. In the Wild Card round, with Vikings starting quarterback Christian Ponder unable to start due to injury, the Vikings fell to the Green Bay Packers in a rematch for a score of 24-10. The team’s record, coupled with Peterson’s historic season, earned him the NFL Offensive Player of the Year and NFL Most Valuable Player awards.

His return from an ACL tear in the previous season also earned him second place in the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year vote, finishing second to Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. He was named to his fifth Pro Bowl career and was named First Team All-Pro for a third time. After the completion of the season, Peterson was operated on for a sports hernia.

ADRIAN PETERSON FREE AGENT

Adrian Peterson posted a series of absurdly impressive workout videos this spring, back-weight box jumps and seven-mile treadmill routines. But despite putting those clips online – ‘to send a message to anyone interested that, Hey, you know, I’m here, I’m working hard, I’m grinding, and I’m in great shape,’ as Peterson explained on NFL Live Friday: they haven’t. done enough to influence the intended audience. After a shortened season for injuries in which Peterson adjusted for two teams and averaged 3.4 yards per carry, but also played 134 and 159 yards of running, he remains a free agent.

At 33, Peterson’s career could end in a similar way to the greats that preceded him. When LaDainian Tomlinson retired just before his 33rd birthday, he explained that he hadn’t lost the will to play, rather ‘it was just time to move on’. When he was 33, Marshall Faulk underwent knee surgery and never played again, retiring a year later. This time, nine years ago, it was 32-year-old Shaun Alexander waiting for a call that never came.

VOICES OF ADRIAN PETERSON

A (former) running back star is still on the market and it might make sense for an NFC East rival of the Giants and Eagles.

In a column on potential landing spots for remaining NFL free agents, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell pointed to the Dallas Cowboys as a measure for Adrian Peterson.

If so, maybe now is the time for a long-rumored love to be born. The Cowboys are left with only Rod Smith behind Elliott, and while Smith was a reasonable backup, it seems plausible that Peterson could still be an upgrade as 100 carry back while playing a couple of series per game. At the very least, it would sell a lot of jerseys for a team that isn’t exactly swarming with guns for the skill position behind Elliott.

Peterson, 33, could partner with Ezekiel Elliott to form the highest-profile backfield in the NFL. Last year, the future Hall of Famer rushed 529 yards to 3.4 yards to carry through stints with the Cardinals and Saints. But with just 3.1 yards per carry since the start of the 2016 season, we could be witnessing Peterson’s career end as a valid return to the NFL.

In this case, however, speculation could turn into reality. The reason: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ infatuation with names and stars. If Peterson is still available when the field opens, it would surprise few to see the former MVP with a star on his helmet.

ADRIAN PETERSON DEAD SON

Man convicted of murder in 2013 for the death of Adrian Peterson’s son

Now back on the court after being haunted by child abuse allegations, NFL star Adrian Peterson has gotten a closure in a different case now that a South Dakota jury has found a man guilty of second-degree murder for the killing. of one of Peterson’s sons.

Tuesday’s verdict came after a three-week trial in which Joseph Patterson called “an international team of expert witnesses,” said attorney Thomas Wollmann of Lincoln County, South Dakota. The defense said the child is choking, stimulating biological reactions that (along with the CPR performed) could have explained the allegations of abuse, including bruises and other injuries.
‘This goes against all literature,’ Wollmann told CNN. ‘… Our dear jurors, old men and full of common sense, didn’t buy it.’
Report: Adrian Peterson’s young son dies after alleged assault
Instead, the jury convicted 29-year-old Patterson of first degree manslaughter, aggravated battery of a newborn and second degree murder.
The conviction dates back to an accident in October 2013 and involved Peterson’s then 2-year-old son, Tyrese Ruffin, who wasn’t living with the returning Minnesota Vikings, but rather with his mother in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Patterson, who was their mother’s girlfriend, lived there with them.
Authorities found that the child was unresponsive and later determined that he had suffered head injuries consistent with the abuse. Patterson, however, said the boy accidentally died after being choked on food.
Peterson acknowledged that the deceased son was his son, so he played a game a few days later.
‘God wants good to come from this,’ he texted Fox sideline reporter Laura Okmin before the game, Peterson said. “We cry and we grieve, but heaven has organized the most terrible welcome party for my son. That knowledge gives me peace.
‘I’m still hurt and I feel the pain of life,’ he added, according to Fox. ‘But I am able to function thanks to the peace and joy of knowing that my loved ones are in a much better place.’
The same NFL most valuable player of 2012 ran into trouble a year later for his own actions against another of his sons, another son, who at
Initially charged with child abuse, Peterson said he did not challenge the crime of reckless assault in November 2014 in Texas. The NFL then suspended him without pay and the following month he lost the appeal for that penalty.
In February, a Minnesota district court judge released the decision confirming his suspension, making Peterson eligible for reinstatement.
And he came back strong, running 291 yards in his first three games this season.
