Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell isn’t exactly sure what to expect from Adrian Peterson.
The Lions haven’t had their first practice of the season. And it’s been nine years since Bevell was calling plays for Peterson out of the Minnesota Vikings’ backfield.
But Bevell knows this. Peterson he still has freakishly impressive ability.
That’s why Bevell wasn’t ready to make grand pronouncements about Peterson’s role on Tuesday. But he also wasn’t ready to temper expectations either for a 35-year-old sure-fire Hall-of-Famer coming off rushing for 1,940 yards and 13 touchdowns the past two seasons with Washington.
