Adrian Peterson's first practice as a Washington Redskins is a wrap, and there's plenty of great visuals coming out of Ashburn.

The 33-year-old back signed with the Redskins on Monday, to a one-year deal that reportedly pays $1.015 million. That's if he makes the 53-man roster. Peterson's deal contains no guarantees right now. As a vested veteran, the contract becomes guaranteed if he's still on the roster in Week 1. 
But you came here for highlights of Peterson in burgundy and gold.

Peterson on his age: “I don’t allow people to box me in....Darrell Green ran a 4.4 at 50 years old...anything is possible.”

And fwiw, I think that's the exact correct response from Peterson. Elite athletes always believe in themselves. Always.
