Bensinger: You've had injuries in college and because of that there's the perception that you're injury-prone. What do you say to that?
Peterson: "That's crazy. ... They shouldn't question my durability. I didn't miss any games my first year with the shoulder injuries. The high ankle sprain was something that completely heals and wouldn't be a nagging injury. Then, there's the collarbone. I've run through people harder and hit the ground harder than that before. It was just a fluke play. It's crazy that people want to question your durability with little injuries like that. "
