Met Adrian Peterson during a night out in uptown. Some friends and I were at Aura(that’s how long ago this was). He walked straight through into the Calhoun square mall area and my buddy looks at me and says “holy shit! That was Adrian Peterson!”
I say “Bullshit” and we go out there to look. Sure enough he’s standing there on his phone, my buddy loses his shit and screams his name… no chill. He signals to us to give him a minute, hangs up his phone and goes “How’s it going, fellas?”
Iirc it was during the off season after he had blown up his knee the first time. He took a moment to talk to us and take a picture. Wished him luck and we went our separate ways. He was a class act that night, was bummed when that shit came out about him. Hope he learned from his mistakes.
