Seahawks sign Adrian Peterson to Practice Squad

Seattle look like they want to provide a feel-good factor to their fans, adding legendary running back Adrian Peterson to the practice squad.

Peterson, 36, played three games for the TItans from Weeks 9-11, filling the void of stud running back Derrick Henry. Though Peterson was waived by Tennessee last week, opening the path for Pete Carroll to bring AP to the Pacific North-West.

Playoffs are out of the question for the ‘Hawks who fell to 3-8 after an uninspiring 17-15 loss to Washington on Monday Night Football. Yet, Carroll is still excited at the opportunity to have someone of Peterson’s stature in the building.

"I'm excited to see if he helps out and give us a little something," Carroll said. "He's a player that I know I've known forever, way back to his high school days, and I admired him tremendously over the years.

“Always disappointed we didn't get him back in the day [at USC], but like I just told him, we finally got him. So I'm looking forward to seeing how he does and see where he can fit it. He's an incredible competitor and a great guy, so I'm anxious to give him a chance to get on the field with our boys.

"He plays just as aggressive and tough as he ever has, so I'm anxious to see what he adds to the club, and he's fired up about it too."

The Oklahoma phenom ran for one touchdown and 82 yards with the Titans this season, and will be hoping to improve on those statistics in Seattle.

Peterson is the NFL’s fifth all-time rusher with 14,902 career yards. Seattle is now his seventh team after 15 years spent across the Vikings, Saints, Cardinals, Washington, Lions and Titans.
