On Thursday, new Seahawks running back Adrian Peterson addressed the Seattle media for the first time since his signing, and perhaps the most interesting part of his press conference was the story he shared about Pete Carroll’s attempts to recruit him out of college.
Peterson, who was of course a highly-touted prospect out of Palestine, TX, a small town in the eastern part of the state, was pursued aggressively by Carroll and USC. Peterson recalled the time Pete made the trek to his high school in order to meet with him.
Spoiler alert: He did pretty much exactly what you’d expect from someone like Pete.
