Adrian Peterson: My son Adrian Jr. isn't the one who died; Please stop tweeting pics of him

On Friday, Twitchy reported the heartbreaking news that the son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson died after a brutal beating. It was initially reported that the victim was Adrian Peterson Jr., but accounts now indicate it was another son. Peterson took to Twitter to set things straight and respectfully asked people to stop tweeting pics of Adrian Jr.

We are currently not posting photos of my son who passed away. Thank u for your understanding.
