HONOLULU – Adrian Peterson signed and tossed miniature footballs into the Aloha Stadium stands, then chatted with Hall of Famers Eric Dickerson and Marcus Allen. Arian Foster played Peyton Manning’s bodyguard for stadium cameras and told fans he recently walked on hot lava.

The Pro Bowl players practiced a little, too, on a sunny Saturday in Honolulu a day before an all-star game that will likely be used to determine its own future.

But the game’s main purpose is fun, said several players including Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph and Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles.
