CBS DETROIT – Former Detroit Lions linebacker Justin Durant, now with the Dallas Cowboys, took to Twitter Thursday to reminisce about an encounter with Minnesota Vikings stellar running back Adrian Peterson that happened in Durant's time in Detroit.

Peterson – who in 2012 came within eight yards of the all-time single-season rushing record – said Thursday that one opponent was so impressed with his return from a devastating ACL injury that he asked if he could recommend a method of recovery.

Peterson told CBSSports.com that a Detroit Lions linebacker once said to him, "Whatever you were juicing on, let me know. I need it."

Durant came forward on Twitter to take ownership of the inquiry.  — Justin Durant (@JDurant52) June 27, 2013
