The players ran agility drills on a 50-yard practice field before lining up for hours of pictures for a Nike photo shoot.
The pictures will be used for magazine and billboard ads. Nike wouldn't say how much the athletes were paid.
Joining Peterson were Cal running back Marshawn Lynch; LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell; Georgia Tech receiver Calvin Johnson, Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams, Michigan cornerback Leon Hall and Miami tight end Greg Olsen.
