Adrian Peterson praises Drew Brees for his work ethic, conditioning: 'He's the truth'

Adrian Peterson came away from his short stint with the New Orleans Saints last season with an enhanced respect for quarterback Drew Brees.

It was Brees to managed to beat Peterson in a preseason conditioning test last summer, the seven-time Pro Bowl running back said Friday (June 1) during an interview with the Madd Hatta Morning Show in Houston.

"That's probably the first time I lost a conditioning test," Peterson said.

Saints coach Sean Payton last summer said Brees finished first or second in a conditioning test but did not offer other details other than to say Peterson also fared well.
