Peterson recognized that he had devoured alcohol leading up to the shift, although he clarified that alcohol was not responsible for the fight. The 40-year-old Texas native compared the incident to “a brother situation.”
“Me and the guy. We’re cool. We’ve known each other. It was literally like a brother situation,” Peterson said. “We agreed to disagree, we had our words and we threw blows – and that was it.”

The seven-time pro bowler added that he “felt really bad” about what happened. He also noted that he and the other man involved in the fight were later able to reach an understanding. No one was arrested or accused and police did not respond.
In April, Peterson was arrested on a DWI tax after he participated in an NFL draft for a party in Minnesota.
The Vikings prepared Peterson in the first round of 2007 NFL Draft. He spent the first decade of his pro -career in Minneapolis. Peterson was appointed NFL MVP in 2012 and left the Vikings after the 2016 season.
Peterson also played for the Holy, Cardinals, Washington, Lions, Titans and Seahawks.
