The day was designed in March to commemorate Saint Patrick and Irish descendants everywhere – March 17th. The Minnesota Vikings used the holiday to hop into bed with a Patrick of their own, except he had a Peterson attached to the end of his name.
General Manager Rick Spielman welcomed cornerback Patrick Peterson to the Vikings after a decade of Hall of Fame-worthy performance with the Arizona Cardinals. From 2011 to present, Peterson snagged 28 interceptions – the fourth-most in the NFL amid those ten seasons.
Now, he’s a Viking.
The move was wildly unexpected.
