Endorsements starting to return for RB Peterson
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Since he's returned to the field for the Minnesota Vikings this season, Adrian Peterson said he's started to see some marketing opportunities come back for him. One of those is a new shoe deal.
Peterson said he's now with Adidas, the company whose shoes the running back wore (albeit without a marketing deal) during his 2012 MVP season.
The running back had been with Nike until his indictment on child injury charges last September; Nike suspended its contract with Peterson on Sept. 17, 2014 -- the day he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list -- and officially terminated the deal once Peterson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges in November.
