ASHBURN, Va. -- At a card show in northern Virginia in August, Adrian Peterson chatted with former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. Peterson remained unsigned and was a little confused as to why.
“I was telling him, ‘Just be patient, it’ll come. Some good stuff will happen,'” Taylor said.
A few days later, the Washington Redskins called. And a lot of good stuff is happening. In August, there were questions about whether Peterson could still play; now he's the lead back for a division leader, on pace to rush for more than 1,300 yards.
