Adrian Peterson appears to be enjoying his career change. The former NFL running back’s training seems to be going well ahead of his scheduled debut in September.
The former Vikings running back posted video Monday of him connecting a clean right hook to the jaw of his sparring partner and knocking him down to the canvas.
Peterson is set to enter the ring with former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell on Sept. 10 in Los Angeles. That is just one day before the Vikings open the regular season at home against the Green Bay Packers.
Earlier this year, it was reported Peterson would not face felony domestic violence charges despite being arrested while leaving LAX airport in Los Angeles. TMZ, citing a source, reported the incident occurred when Peterson attempted to remove his wife’s wedding ring, which caused marks to her hand.
Last season, Peterson appeared in four games for the Seahawks and Titans and rushed for 98 yards on 38 carries to go along with four receptions for eight yards receiving and two touchdowns.
