Peterson said, per Chris Toma son of the St. Paul Pioneer Pre s. "It's so many people before the fame that supported me. ... It says a lot. The people, they know my personality. They know what kind of heart I have. They have been around me my entire life. These are the people that actually know me, so it feels good (for them) to be supportive of my family."A.P. acknowledged that the ninth " Day" -- with a sign reading: "We got Humberto Mejia Jersey your back" -- held a distinct feel from the previous eight."I gue s maybe a little differently," Peterson said. "Definitely, getting some more encouraging words and just seeing the support and the people who are out here and are supporting you and never stopped supporting you. Yeah, it's a little different." running backs coach Kirby Wilson told on Thursday that Peterson looks in practice and "still has electric foot speed," saying: "I don't see any difference from the guy who left here X amount of months ago." Peterson was also thrilled to hear offensive coordinator Norv Turner say that the 30-year-old runner looks like he hasn't mi sed a day."It feels good (unlike) the kind of comments you normally hear from other media sources and just people in general, 'He's been out a year,'" Peterson said. "(When) one of the best offensive minds who ever coached says he hasn't mi sed a day, it felt good to be honest. But I worked hard. I had a lot of time obviously to keep my body in shape and it showed."The latest Podcast , and Conor Orr calls in for the debut of a new segment. Find more content on . Blaze Alexander Jersey
