Adrian Peterson has been a stud at every level of football he has played. He rushed for nearly 3,000 yards as a high school senior (scoring 22 touchdowns along the way), broke the NCAA freshman rushing record (1,925 yards), and despite two shoulder injuries in college, was a top-10 draft pick in the 2007 NFL draft.
Peterson has had a long and storied career with the Minnesota Vikings, who have stood by the running back through a number of issues and scandals that plagued his career. He was a top-three running back from 2008 to 2013, but the last three seasons have seen Peterson miss nearly two full seasons’ worth of games.
