Peterson Wants To Return Kicks In Playoffs

May 18, 2014 7:51 AM

Adrian Peterson is interested in playing on the Minnesota Vikings' special teams in the playoffs.

"For the past two years, I've been trying to get in on field goal block. Come in off the edge, you know? It's just going to take one block for them to really be like, 'OK, you know what? Let's take the chance and let you go out there and get it done,' " Peterson said. "Kickoff return, I wouldn't mind getting back there. I'm in it to win."

Peterson returned 16 kickoffs in 2007, averaging 25.8 yards per attempt.

Approval from head coach Leslie Frazier, however, is unlikely.
