In 2024 ... 39-year-old Adrian Peterson will STILL be running over defenders?!?!
The future Hall of Famer says he believes that's entirely possible ... telling TMZ Sports he's gunning to play FOUR more years in the NFL!!
"Man, why not four more years?" AD says. "Why not?!"
Of course, Peterson has never made it a secret he wants to play a whole lot longer than most running backs ever do ... but four more years is a big goal even for him.
Remember, back after the 2018 season, Peterson told us he only wanted to go "maybe two or three more years.
