Adrian Peterson's desire to play four more years also shows why Emmitt Smith's record is unbeatable

Adrian Peterson, the 35-year-old Washington Redskins running back, said he wants to play four more NFL seasons.

"I don't want to ever be in a position where I look back and say, 'Man, I should have played two more years,'" Peterson told TMZ. "'I should of played another year.' I want to enjoy it."

That sounds crazy, but Peterson is a certified freak. When he resurrected his career out of nowhere in 2018, when it looked like he was out of chances but then ran for 1,042 yards after Washington signed him in August, it was remarkable.
