Saints focusing on RB Adrian Peterson's pass-catching at OTAs

At the New Orleans Saints organized team activities, RB Adrian Peterson has been focused on improving his skills as a receiver out of the backfield, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
The former Minnesota Vikings running back has never been known as a dominant pass-catcher, never receiving more than 55 targets or 43 receptions in a season.
He’s had some issues with drops throughout his career, but his hands have grown more consistent in recent years. In his last full season in 2015, he had a career-best drop rate with only one drop on 31 catchable targets.
That being said, Peterson also received a career-low 49.9 receiving grade in 2015, failing to make the most of the 30 receptions he did make, averaging only 1.0 yard per route run on the year.
Saints QB Drew Brees targeted running backs (130) more than any other quarterback in 2016, so Peterson should have plenty of opportunities to show what he can do as a receiver in his 11th season.
