Patrick Peterson, the Arizona Cardinals' second-year cornerback and kick returner, has a passion for muscle cars and will review automotive trends on throughout the season on on his "P2's Keys to the Ride" blog. Peterson's dynamic rookie season included tying an all-time NFL record with four touchdowns on punt returns. A unanimous All-American at LSU, the 6-1, 219-pound Peterson was the fifth overall pick of the 2011 draft after turning in the second-fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.

First, I want to say thanks for checking out my blog. I think the concept of NFL fans learning more about our lives outside of just football is great.

There is a lot more to me then just playing football. I enjoy doing a lot of things outside of preparing to return punts and cover wide receivers. One of those is my love for cars. Throughout this NFL season SOTL.com has given me the opportunity to give you a close look into my passion for cars.

Whether it's a brand new 2012 big body SUV all blacked out, or an old school Camaro I love everything there is about cars. I just began learning more about them and hope to be able to fix up some of my own cars very soon. I even dedicated one of my garages to be my future shop.

Here's a photo of the logo I have up in my garage. I will go give you guys a tour of the garage in one of my later blogs. I plan to give you guys a sneak peek not only of my cars but also some of the cars of my Arizona Cardinals teammates.

Plus, I'll take you on a tour of one of our team's favorite car shops. The crew there pimps out the cars of several of my teammates.  We'll also get into remote-control cars and much more.

We can talk a little football here and there but I want you guys to be able to see that NFL players can do more then just play ball. Stay tuned and let me know what you think, either in the comments section or by following me on Twitter at @RealPeterson21 . And don't blink!
