Adrian Peterson gets praise from Vikings coach Zimmer
Maybe it was just the post-Thanksgiving glow. But at Vikings practice on Friday, coach Mike Zimmer made a point of going up to Peterson and telling him how much he appreciated the running back’s work.
“I told him today how much I appreciated him,” Zimmer said. “Just everything he does for us. His leadership, the way he comes out to practice the way he prepares. Really, everything.”
Why did Zimmer do that?
“Just, sometimes, I’m nice,” Zimmer said. “I say nice things to guys. It’s not often. But, once in a while, I do.”
Peterson, course, appreciated the sentiment.
