A decade ago, no running back in the NFL had a higher stock than Adrian Peterson.
Then a member of the Vikings, Peterson had just polished off the best season of his career. He ran for an astounding 2,097 yards in 2012—eight shy of Rams legend Eric Dickerson’s single-season record—and swept MVP and Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Associated Press.
Now, Peterson is just trying to stick around the league at the age of 38. Despite going unsigned in 2022, he expressed to Clarence Hill Jr. of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he'd like to play in 2023 if given the opportunity.
