So, Julian Peterson, did having a couple other ex-Seahawks in Detroit help ease your transition to the Lions?
"Come on, man," Peterson told reporters. "I've been playing 10 years. You think I need somebody to hold my hand? [Laughs.] I mean, no, not at all. I’m glad that they’re here, they’re good players [Maurice Morris and Will Heller], but I didn’t need them to hold my hand for support."
Another reminder that this is the NFL and not high school ball.
