Since he was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2007, Adrian Peterson has earned over $100 million during his time in the NFL. Back in 2011, he signed an extension with the Vikings that ended up rewarding him with almost $50 million.
No running back in league history has earned more money than the amount that has found its way into Peterson’s bank account.
Despite his massive career earnings as an NFL player, the veteran running back is, “nearly broke,” according to a recent report by ProFootballTalk’s Michael David Smith on Tuesday.
