As his appearance was a nice sight for most NFL fans, former star running back Adrian Peterson took issue with the 24-year-old’s jacket.
Hamlin wore a letterman-style jacket with an apparent image of Jesus Christ on his left breast and a message on his right side, which read, "Without end or beginning there is no day and there is no night." On the back of the jacket, it read "Eternal" with Jesus on the cross.
Takashi Murakami was the designer of the outfit and the jacket’s cost is $3,150, according to TMZ Sports.

But for Peterson – a devout Christian – it was over the top.
"You should be thanking God son! This is Blasphemy!! We all fall short but cmon man! I find this disrespectful!!" the former Minnesota Vikings star wrote on Instagram.
He added: "But this was different! I know young people don’t think at times, older as well! But with everything surrounding his situation!! This isn’t one of those moments where it’s a young guy not thinking!"
It didn’t appear Hamlin had an issue with the jacket.
