LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson dined with Carolina Panthers Coach Ron Rivera on Sunday night, talking football and getting to know each other better over a meal at Ruffino's.

Rivera, whose team owns the No. 1 pick in next month's NFL draft, is touring the country this month, having similar sessions with about 10 different prospects.
