Adrian Peterson has said that he would like to return kickoffs and block field goals for the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs.

The Vikings face NFC North rivals the Green Bay Packers for the second time in six days on Saturday.

The running back told The AP: "For the past two years, I've been trying to get in on field-goal block. Come in off the edge, you know?

"It's just going to take one block for them to really be like, 'OK, you know what? Let's take the chance and let you go out there and get it done.' Kickoff return, I wouldn't mind getting back there. I'm in it to win.

"My body feels great. I could play for 12 more games if I had to. Seriously."

Last week, the 27-year-old missed out on the single-season rushing record by nine yards.
