C.J.: Asked on TV 1-on-1, Adrian Peterson won't say how many kids he has

Bachelor father Adrian Peterson would not tell ESPN the number of children he has brought into the world.

In an “E: 60” segment with ESPN’s Lisa Salters that aired Tuesday, the face of the Vikings’ franchise spoke publicly for the first time in depth about the tragic death of his 2-year-old in South Dakota.

Prosecutors indicted a Sioux Falls man Monday on second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Ty Robert Ruffin.Investigators say the accused 27-year-old, who allegedly assaulted the toddler Oct. 9, was the boyfriend of the child’s mother.

Salters reported that Peterson first learned of Ty’s existence in August but didn’t see the tot until after receiving that fateful October phone call. “I still haven’t been able to wrap my head around it,” Peterson said.
