Vikings’ Adrian Peterson Admits a Change of Scenary May Be Best
Published at(NEW YORK) — Since 2007, running back Adrian Peterson has been the face of the Minnesota Vikings franchise, but after a recent child abuse scandal, Peterson knows it might be best to move on.
In a recent interview with USA Today, Peterson said “maybe it’s best for me to get a fresh start somewhere else.”
Back in September, Peterson was indicted on a felony charge of injury to a child after he used a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year. He pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of misdemeanor reckless assault earlier this month.
Earlier this week, the NFL suspended Peterson for the rest of the season. He had missed the previous nine games after being placed on the commissioner’s exempt list.
