So last night, while watching the Minnesota Timberwolves' last-second victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, I saw this come across the feed on the Twitter:

Adrian Peterson So I'm thinking about changing my number! #28 has been good to me, but I think its time switch it up! What do you think about the switch ?

Now, I don't know how serious AP actually is about this, but it does certainly seem to come out of the blue.
He followed that up with a tweet saying that he would like to switch to either 21 or 23. The problem with that is, at the moment, both of those numbers are taken by a couple of his teammates. . .Asher Allen and Cedric Griffin, respectively.
Again, I'm not sure how serious he is about the whole thing. . .#28 in purple is probably one of the four or five most recognizable jerseys in the National Football League, after all. I'm sure we'll get some sort of clarification from AP over the next couple of days here.
