Adrian Peterson says he's spoken to Damar Hamlin about the "disrespectful" jacket he wore at the Super Bowl... and while Peterson says he still hates the jacket, he doesn't believe the 24-year-old was coming from a place of malice.
"So I spoke with [Damar], and we were able to discuss our thoughts as men. I want to be clear, I’m the last person to judge anyone, and that was never my intention," Adrian wrote. Source: TMZ.com
