Does Peterson Fit Minnesota’s Secondary?

Let me begin by saying that I won’t be losing any sleep worrying about how Patrick Peterson will fit in the Minnesota Vikings secondary. Peterson is a ten-year vet and is playing for Mike Zimmer, who is widely regarded as The Corner Whisperer. Peterson should be a rock-solid addition to a secondary in transition. The combination of Tomlinson at 3T and Peterson patrolling the defensive backfield should make fans optimistic.

The 30-year-old corner has spent the majority of his career playing along the left side, but he has experience along the right as well (per Pro Football Reference).
