The criticism has followed Adrian Peterson throughout his NFL career.
Peterson, who signed with the New Orleans Saints in April, is one of the best running backs of his generation. He's eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards seven times, and he's one of seven players in NFL history with a 2,000-yard season.
As great as he's been during his likely Hall of Fame career, though, he's not good as a receiver -- at least according to his critics.
"It's always funny to me because I've been playing this game since I was 7, and a lot of people say, 'Well, he can't catch the ball,'" Peterson said Tuesday after minicamp.
