EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. KhaDarel Hodge Jersey . -- When Adrian Peterson was talking with his teammates about which quarterbacks the Minnesota Vikings could acquire, Sam Bradfords name wasnt on the list. One could also assume Bradford wasnt one of the suggestions Peterson texted to general manager Rick Spielman, simply because he didnt think his former University of Oklahoma teammate would be available.I didnt see that coming, Peterson said. We knew he was down in Philadelphia, and (we) didnt see that happening. I tip my hat to our GM, Rick Spielman. He did a great job of bringing a guy in that can contribute.The Vikings still havent said whether it will be Bradford or Shaun Hill starting for the team on Sunday in the regular-season opener against Tennessee, but after the Vikings sent a 2017 first-round pick and a conditional fourth-rounder to the Eagles for Bradford on Saturday, it isnt hard to surmise the quarterback will be on the field soon. Peterson found out the news while he was in Houston, watching his alma mater play the University of Houston on Saturday. When a reporter told him the Vikings had acquired Bradford, Peterson said his initial reaction was excitement.Theyre looking out for the best interests of this team, Peterson said. We have faith in Shaun and what hes able to bring, as well, but its always good to have another guy that can contribute and is talented.After the Vikings lost Teddy Bridgewater to a dislocated left knee and torn ACL Aug. 30, Peterson was one of several players to visit the quarterback in the hospital that night. After what the running back called an emotional roller coaster of a week, the Vikings attention turned to finding help at quarterback, which is when Peterson texted Spielman.Im always trying to be in the mix and give my opinion on guys I think you should bring in, Peterson said. He told me, Hey, were going to do whats best for the team. Thats the last thing you have to worry about. Im like, Alright, I know you guys are going to do that, based off what you guys have done here the last couple years, drafting guys and bringing guys in as well. I left it at that, and he proved to be telling the truth.The running back remembered Bradford as a quiet redshirt freshman who didnt say too much at the University of Oklahoma, but Bradfords arm strength quickly stood out to Peterson, to the point he was hoping Bradford would be the starting quarterback during the 2006 season (Petersons last with the Sooners).He looks young now, but he looked like a little kid then, Peterson said. I remember watching him and seeing him throw in practice, and I knew he was going to be good. I wish they could have put him out there for my last year to help us out a little bit. They didnt do it, but it worked out for him there at Oklahoma. He had a great career.The Vikings will use their 12th different starting quarterback in Petersons 10 years with the team on Sunday against the Titans, and Petersons presence figures to be a big part of the teams game plan as the Vikings break in their new quarterback.He had just 10 carries for 31 yards in the Vikings season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers last year, and looking back on it Thursday, Peterson recalled his conditioning wasnt as sharp as he needed it to be before the 2015 opener. He ran a series of sprints before the Vikings next game against the Detroit Lions, during which he carried 29 times for 134 yards and gained another 58 yards on two catches. This year, Peterson said, his conditioning is where he wants it to be -- and he offered what sounded like a slogan that played off his nickname.Thats the big difference going into this week, he said. My legs are fresh. Ive been making sure that Ive been getting my conditioning in. So Ill be ready to run all day. Eric Weddle Jersey .
