It encapsulates every aspect of a great RB; speed, power, agility, change of direction, EVERYTHING, like 10 runs in one:<\/h2>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0O8Lih25NYE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>AP runs over 220 pound DB&#8217;s like they aren&#8217;t even there.<\/p>\n<h2>Upon meeting AP, I had to get a taste of his world-renown grip. I stuck out my hand and introduced myself.<\/h2>\n<h2>\u201cAP, I\u2019m Paul and I have got to feel that famous handshake.\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAll Day\u201d obliged, grabbed my hand, and stepped in so close his face was about two inches from mine. To say it was intense would be an apt description.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow\u2019s that Paul?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPretty good AP,\u201d I said. \u201cBut definitely not the strongest grip I\u2019ve ever felt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We started talking about the phenomenal season he just completed, his rehab and how he was feeling heading into this season.<\/p>\n<h2>After a few minutes of that I said, \u201cAlright AP, give me the real one this time,\u201d and I stuck out my hand again. He grabbed it, made the meanest face ever and squeezed my hand about 10% harder.<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAh, now we\u2019re getting somewhere!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was barely able to wiggle my hand out of his.<\/p>\n<p>We talked for another couple minutes and I told him what an inspiration he was and about how he essentially redefined what we expect from athletes in terms of recovery from injury and ensuing performance.<\/p>\n<p>As we were talking, former Alabama running back <a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/eddie-lacy-as-a-lumberjack-video-gatorade-beat-the-heat\/\">Eddie Lacy<\/a> walked up and joined our conversation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the guy, right here,\u201d AP said, as he introduced me to Lacy. \u201cGreen Bay has finally got the back they\u2019ve been looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lacy was a cool character, totally low-key and relaxed. I asked him what his expectations were for the upcoming season, his first in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust to stay healthy, man. And do everything I am asked. I\u2019m ready to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>People had started coming up to Peterson in groups to engage the NFL\u2019s best running back, so I stuck out my hand again.<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAP, thank you so much for the time, great to meet you. But\u00a0<i>this<\/i>\u00a0time, I want the\u00a0<i>real<\/i>\u00a0AP handshake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He laughed, took my hand and\u00a0<i>really<\/i>\u00a0gave it to me this time, accompanied again by a super mean face.\u00a0<em>This<\/em>\u00a0was the real AP handshake and it\u00a0<i>hurt<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cOK, OK, AP! That\u2019s my writing hand, man! Ouch!\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>AP\u2019s face went back to normal, and gradually, his lips pursed into a smile and he laughed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah and I don\u2019t need any lawsuits, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We both chuckled and went our separate ways.<\/p>\n<p>AP&#8217;s speech at the ESPY awards was straight from his heart and concluded with this great quote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA small mind cannot comprehend a big spirit. So, in order to be great, you gotta be willing to be misunderstood, to be talked about, to be mocked.<\/p>\n<p>But guess what? Stay strong, continue to work and thrive to be great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gTB8OUuvEko\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>More Vikings&#8217; content:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/laquon-treadwell-josh-doctson-tell-why-40-yard-dash-is-overrated\/\">40 Yard Dash: Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson Tell You Why It\u2019s Overrated<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/super-bowl-radio-row-whats-it-like-in-person\/\">Super Bowl Radio Row \u2013 What\u2019s It Like In Person?<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Burger King In The NFL Commercial \u2013 NEVER FORGET<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrian Peterson is so great, he gets taken for granted.
