During his tenure with the Minnesota Vikings, Adrian Peterson created a number of memorable moments. But no season of his with the Vikings may be more memorable than what he was able to do out on the field in 2012.
That season, Peterson rushed for 2,097 yards and 12 touchdowns. His rushing total in 2012 is still the second-most ever by an NFL running back in a single season. Peterson is also one of only seven running backs to finish a year with at least 2,000 rushing yards.
Unsurprisingly, the former Minnesota rusher was named the league’s MVP in 2012 and he’s just the fourth running back to win the award since the 2000 season.
