Adrian Peterson said the tone of camp is "night and day" compared to last year. There’s a lot asked of the players and they're accepting of the challenge

With the new regime in Washington, led by head coach Ron Rivera, the goal going forward was to rebrand the franchise and create a winning culture going forward. Through five training camp practices, the difference is already palpable, according to veteran running back Adrian Peterson, who says that it’s ‘night and day’ from what he saw with the team last year.
As one of the older players in the NFL, AP knows what it’s like to go through camp with a coaching staff who may be on the way out, and he definitely knows what it’s like to be playing with a team who has a goal in mind and is on it’s way to accomplishing that. Luckily it seems that Washington fits into the latter group there.
If that difference can be felt this early on in Rivera’s tenure, it’s fun to imagine what might be accomplished a couple of years down the road. The sky is the limit, players just have to keep working the system and see it work for them.
