Adrian Peterson, in free agency for first time, faces a new world

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings spent part of the final day before free agency at the University of Oklahoma, where general manager Rick Spielman, coach Mike Zimmer and running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu got a look at two Sooners running backs the team could pursue in the draft next month.

The Vikings' trip came a decade after they drafted Adrian Peterson seventh overall out of Oklahoma, starting a 10-year run that saw the running back win three rushing titles, earn a league MVP award following a stirring return from a torn ACL and set the franchise record for rushing yards.
