Good but long article




quote:

A couple weeks after Peterson’s season ended, Mathieu traded Florida’s sun for Arizona’s and joined dozens of other NFL hopefuls who were already training in the desert. But Mathieu wasn’t working with a personal trainer at a high-end complex arranged by his agent. It was Peterson who invited Mathieu to stay at his house and pledged to get the former Heisman hopeful in shape for the combine.

For 14 straight days Peterson and Mathieu worked out two or three times per day at Peterson’s home and at Discovery Park in Chandler. “It wasn’t no vacation for him,” Peterson said. “We were really getting after it.” They focused on getting Mathieu back into football shape while Peterson taught him techniques and footwork he learned with the Cardinals.

Hopefully Mathieu doesn't take all that work PP7 put in with him for granted and frick up his chances for a possibly solid NFL career. Wish the best for the guy and hope he has cleaned up his act.

I hope PP7 can talk some sense into him. TM7's problem are not technical or talent related. They are between his ears.

Just saw TM7 walking around the venue. Not sure why he's in town. Maybe he's back on the horse.

It hasn’t been difficult for Peterson to believe in Mathieu. He believes Mathieu’s learned from his past and can chase down an NFL career like he did a receiver as a ball-hawking back at LSU.

He sees Mathieu as a special teamer or a defensive back, possibly fitting into the Cardinals’ system as a bonus player in the dime or nickel packages. Maybe Mathieu could line up across the field from Peterson. Or return kicks.

Wherever Mathieu ends up, Peterson will keep believing. There’s a reason he hasn’t stopped yet. “Just these last six months he’s just been a big brother,” Mathieu said. “He’s really been a teacher for me. “I think I’d still be trying to play in the NFL but I think it’d be a tougher road without having that guy at LSU. Even right now, it would’ve been a tougher road without Patrick.”

Everyone wants to comment on TM7 here. Not me.

What a great teammate and friend PP7 is. I'm really impressed with him. Always could tell he was a really good man.

Wishing nothing but success for both.

Dont worry, I dont think they test for mescaline. Honestly, a trip on mescaline in the desert may do the honey badger some good.

Peyote is over rated! The Indians did cross over to the other side with it though! Lol

If PP and HB do some "Doors" covers, I'm gonna say "I told you so."
