A golden jacket and permanent enshrinement in Canton is awaiting Adrian Peterson at some point, when he finally decides to hang up the cleats and call it a career. When that day comes, the legendary running back still plans on doing it as a Minnesota Viking.
Even after all of these years, Peterson said he still “bleeds purple” during an interview with FOX 9 KMSP. He was asked if he could see himself playing football for the Vikings again before finally riding off into the sunset.
“I’ve seen stranger things happen,” said Peterson. “But they’re set with [Dalvin] Cook, man. He’s such a great talent. Who knows? It could possibly happen, but when it’s time for me to retire, of course, I’ll be back then in a purple uniform for sure.”
