Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
NFL Network caught up with Peterson in Minnesota and shot video of him and other Vikings players working with the sand-filled ball that was described as football's version of a medicine ball. Per PFT's Michael David Smith, Solomon Wilcotts of NFL Network, who interviewed Peterson, said the thinking is, "If you can secure a 14-pound football, you probably can hold onto the ball when defenders are pulling and tugging at it. ..." While there's no guarantee working with the heavy ball will help, it certainly can't hurt.
