Shellfish allergy won't stop Adrian Peterson from 'tearing up' New Orleans cuisine

METAIRIE, La. -- Adrian Peterson found out that he was allergic to certain types of shellfish after a scary reaction to gumbo during training camp with the Minnesota Vikings in 2012.

He had another flare-up in 2015 after he ate shrimp the day before a game.

But the New Orleans Saints’ new running back insisted he won’t let that stop him from enjoying one of the best parts of his new city’s culture -- the seafood.
