Adrian Peterson was preparing himself for a team to call him during the offseason before Derrius Guice tore his ACL on August 9th in the Redskins first preseason game against the New England Patriots. Peterson was brought in with several other free agent running backs, and blew everyone away with his workout. From that day on, he has been the Redskins #1 RB, and has surprised a lot of people this season with his performance.
Peterson has already moved up several career achievement lists this year for touchdowns and yards.
