Adrian Peterson has no problem calling his shot! The all-world running back for the Vikings said today he plans on taking his first carry of the season to the house for a touchdown. Crazy thing is he actually said the same thing last season and literally took his first carry 78 yards for a score! Could he really make history repeat itself? Hit the jump.

“Yeah, I might as well speak it: Touchdown, first run,” Peterson said Thursday.
A year ago, Peterson, who hadn’t played during the preseason, called his shot — partially in jest — during a running backs meeting with teammates Toby Gerhart and Matt Asiata before the first game of the season against the Detroit Lions.
“I was like, ‘Man, I’m going to take the first carry to the house,'” Peterson said. “I really didn’t think about it. I really didn’t mean it when I said it. And then when it happened, I came to the sideline and they reminded me, ‘Oh, man, you said you were going to do that!'”
“I’ll say it again,” Peterson said Thursday. “Hopefully it’ll work out the same way.”
The St. Louis Rams defense will be waiting for AP on Sunday.
