Two days of training camp are now in the books, and NFL.com’s Brian Baldinger took a look at the Vikings performance.
As Minnesota prepares for the 2016 season, Baldinger is making an early prediction: Adrian Peterson will once again lead the league in rushing yards.
“If there’s one thing they don’t have to worry about – even though he’s getting older – it’s [Adrian Peterson],” Baldinger said. “I know Todd Gurley’s out there waiting, but he’s my pick to repeat as the NFL’s rushing champion.”
Baldinger said he believes Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner will be instrumental in Peterson continuing to produce at such a high level, saying Turner “just knows how to work a running back.
