Signing with the Redskins:
Peterson was in Oklahoma, flew back to Houston and when he landed he had a bunch of texts from his agents that Washington wanted to bring him in for a workout. Came here. Worked out. Signed. Here we are.

Competing to start:
Adrian Peterson on if his Mindset is to win the starting job immediately: “without a doubt. I’d be cheating myself if that wasn’t my approach.”

Darrell Green:
Peterson credits the shape he’s in to the work he does in his gym in Houston that he owns with Trent, being conscious of what he puts in his body and good genes.
