The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports: The Vikings' sales pitch to free-agent running back LaDainian Tomlinson on Thursday included a phone conversation with Adrian Peterson, and coach Brad Childress told KFAN Radio that he would feel as though he had two starting running backs if L.T. came aboard.
"I really look at it as a guy that if we were fortunate enough to get him, you would have a 1 and 1A," Childress said of Tomlinson, who is visiting Friday with the Jets. "He understands that dynamic. I actually put him on the phone with Adrian. I think there's a tremendous admiration of one toward another. But he can do all the things that he needs to do in this offense."
