Fans of the Arizona Cardinals were handed some shocking news last week. Star cornerback Patrick Peterson tested positive for PEDs and will have to serve a six-game suspension for the transgression. Unfortunately for the shutdown cover guy, his time away from the team may not be the only consequence.
Peterson now must hope that his irresponsible mistake does not put his Hall of Fame aspirations in jeopardy. Those who cast votes for the NFL’s most-cherished honor are an unpredictable bunch. Will the selection committee, when the time comes, ultimately forgive Peterson for the infraction?
The answer to that question is not an easy one.
