Though news of Adrian Peterson using a "switch" on his son led to him being charged with felony child abuse, and missing all but one game back in 2014 (plus it also led to a guilty plea for a misdemeanor) the now-Redskins' running back admitted in a recent interview that he still spanks his son with a belt. This disclosure came in a Bleacher Report profile that was published on Wednesday. In it, he explains the tweaks he's made in his disciplinary style since pictures of the injuries sustained by his son in 2014 went viral.
For full context, here's the related excerpt from BR:
