The Vikings running back played in the Bobby Maze Celebrity Basketball Game on Saturday in Knoxville, Tenn. Maze and Peterson became friends at Oklahoma, where Maze played basketball as a freshman in 2006-07 before transferring to Tennessee.

"I haven't been able to make it the last couple of years, so I made a promise to (Maze) no matter what, that I'd be coming and joining this year, no matter what," Peterson told the Maryville Daily Times.
