MANKATO, Minn. – Abigail Niebauer has Adrian Peterson’s back, and the Pro Bowl running back has hers.
When 10-year-old Abigail saw Peterson for the first time after training camp practice Friday, she wrapped her arms around him and held on tight.
Abigail and her family live in Denver, Colorado, but she proudly wears her purple No. 28 jersey to school in the heart of Broncos territory. Her choice of team – and love for the game of football – has caused Abigail to be bullied by classmates, but she refuses to turn her back on the Vikings.
