Peterson made the comments Monday to SiriusXM
NFL Radio, adding that Bradford will "for sure" be the Week 1
starter as long as he is healthy and the team can protect him.
However, he was equally as impressed by Rosen's football IQ and
skill set.
"Just to see him run hurry up offense, to see him make all these
different checks, to see him put guys in position. I was
completely stunned when I saw it," Peterson said. "I was like,
'This guy's only been here a week, and he's already doing what?
We're already running two-minute offense now?'"
Rosen was selected by the Cardinals with the 10th overall pick
-- the fourth quarterback off the board in the 2018 NFL Draft
despite his success in three years as UCLA's starter. Arizona
thought enough of him to move up five spots to secure Rosen,
giving up a third-round pick to do so.
--Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson continues to
dispel any notion that he will attempt to return to the NFL.
"I don't want to play," Johnson said when asked by TMZ Sports at
Los Angeles International airport. "See these fingers, man? I
ain't trying to catch no more footballs."
Johnson announced his retirement from the league following the
2015 season. The then-30-year-old was still dominant in his
final campaign, hauling in 88 passes for 1,214 yards and nine
touchdowns and being named a Pro Bowler for the sixth time.
--When the Eagles meet the Saints in New Orleans on Nov. 18,
Philadelphia will wear its home green jerseys. That's because
Saints coach Sean Payton lost a wager to Eagles coach Doug
Pederson at the annual coaches' golf outing during the NFL
meetings earlier this year.
Pederson told reporters that on the course with his fellow
coaches, "those competitive juices" got to them. So Payton and
Pederson came up with a few unique bets.
"Obviously they couldn't believe it," said Pederson of telling
Eagles ownership about the bets. "But we had a great day, it was
fun, it was exciting. And listen, when those competitive juices
are flowing, he wanted to beat me and I wanted to beat him.
That's just the way it goes."
