Detroit Lions' Adrian Peterson: D’Andre Swift has already taken ‘tremendous steps’

D’Andre Swift still has a few things to learn about being an NFL player.

For instance, he needs to learn how to take care of his dirty laundry. Especially when it’s a milestone keepsake.

After he rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday’s 34-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions rookie running back went to the locker room and began taking off his uniform. Adrian Peterson sat nearby and noticed something.

“He took his jersey off and threw it down on the ground and the equipment guys came and picked it up,” Peterson said Thursday during a conference call with reporters.
