Titans' Adrian Peterson Turned Down 'Dancing with the Stars' to Pursue NFL Contract

Adrian Peterson reportedly turned down dancing for football.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the running back turned down an offer to appear on Dancing with the Stars in September even though he was not with a team. Peterson wanted to keep his attention on a possible return to the gridiron even though producers would have allowed him to leave the show if a team signed him.

He is now a member of the Tennessee Titans, who added him to help make up for the production lost in light of Derrick Henry's injury.
