Under Mike Tomlin, Patrick Peterson May Hold Off On Retiring

Though CB Patrick Peterson seems in the twilight of his career, if his body feels good and he can still produce, there’s no urge to rush into retirement. And under Mike Tomlin, Peterson might try to hang in the league as long as possible.

Speaking with Jim Rome on The Jim Show Thursday, Peterson said playing for coach he loves like Tomlin, might push retirement into the distant future.

“To finally come into Coach Tomlin and have him [use] the other attributes of my game, it’s going to make me want to play longer,” Peterson told Rome.
