Adrian Peterson was in Washington last season when he saw the first strings of the franchise unravel.
Head coach Jay Gruden was fired after an 0-5 start, a few months later team president Bruce Allen was shown the door and this summer the organization dealt with a slew of off-field issues while trying to build something positive in the locker room and on the football field.
Nothing about the past 12 months in Washington has been pretty, and nothing about it — in Peterson’s eyes, at least — resembles what’s going on in Detroit now.
