Adrian Peterson's father puts forward three landing spots for son

With Adrian Peterson's return to the Minnesota Vikings still very much in question, his father has put forward three teams as possible destinations for the running back.

"I've heard rumors, Arizona," Nelson Peterson told Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I've also heard the rumors of Indianapolis and the Colts, going there with a quarterback the caliber of (Andrew) Luck. I've also heard the Cowboys, coming back home with the Cowboys, behind that offensive line that they have."

The father of the former All-Pro runner went on to say the Cardinals shouldn't of passed on his son in the 2007 draft, a mistake that, he believes, cost them multiple Super Bowls.

"Arizona had the opportunity to draft him and they didn't," Nelson said. "They had an opportunity to take him in 2007 with the No. 4 pick and they went and picked Levi Brown. If they would have taken Adrian Peterson, then Kurt Warner would probably still be playing and they probably would have numerous Super Bowls.

"Can you imagine (Adrian) with Kurt Warner and with Larry Fitzgerald in his prime? Oh, man, Arizona would probably have a couple of Super Bowls by now."

Peterson's father recently told Tomasson that his son is open to returning to the Vikings, clarifying that Peterson had not demanded a trade.

If reinstated, Peterson and the Vikings are likely to have a resolution worked out before April's draft.
