Adrian Peterson: 'Without a Doubt' Planning to Kneel During National Anthem

In the wake of George Floyd's killing at the hands of the Minneapolis police department and the subsequent worldwide protests, expect the list of NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem to grow next season.

That's what Washington running back Adrian Peterson said on Friday, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

In discussing Saints quarterback Drew Brees' comments on kneeling during the national anthem, Peterson said "without a doubt" he would take a knee during the anthem, and he expects several other players to join him.
