Vikings Head Coach Not To Happy With Adrian Petersons Plan To Put On Weight
Published by Clayton Thompson on April 8, 2009
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson is looking to gain some weight for the 2009 season. But don’t worry, he doesn’t plan to emulate Yankees pitcher C.C. Sabathia, who looks like he spent his bonus check on Shakey’s Bunch A Lunch.
Peterson would like to weigh between 225 and 230 pounds next season, according to The Associated Press, up from his listed playing weight of 217. Peterson wants to put on “good” weight to help him better withstand the pounding that an NFL running back takes.
It’s good that Peterson is taking his role as the undisputed No. 1 fantasy pick so seriously. More players should have this kind of dedication.
And to be honest, there are still some trust issues with Peterson’s health. Sure, he started 15 games last season, but there’s always that lingering doubt. So it’s nice that he’s being proactive and willing to do whatever it takes to make it through an entire season.
