Damn I wanted him
Arizona’s eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson is being suspended the first eight games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy, league sources told ESPN.

Wow. The PED suspension tends to put Patrick Peterson in a different light. It makes me wonder why he would do something so obviously against the rules and apparently so easy to catch.
Maybe he has an injury we don't know about. Or maybe he's just trying to gain (or maintain) a competitive advantage. Or maybe he's just trying to reverse a bit of age plus general wear and tear on his body. Gotta stay ahead of the young guys, right?
Whatever, it was a foolish path to take and puts a real dent in my estimation of him.
