There's no doubting that Bruce Arians is intrigued with Peterson's potential as a playmaking change-up to throw at defenses this season. Although there's been no sign of the Wildcat formation, Arians revealed that the Peterson package has already expanded to 15 plays. "We've got a pretty big package in for a guy who's a defensive football player," quarterback Carson Palmer said. Arians explained that he decided to increase the amount of tinkering with Peterson because "that's a lot of weapon sitting next to me." Arians believes Peterson has the potential to be a top-five NFL receiver if he played offense full-time while Palmer drew comparisons to a "Percy Harvin-type player," according to Darren Urban of the Cardinals' website. Still, after hearing Arians' praise, the 2011 All-Pro was quick to point out, "My primary position is cornerback."
