The Seahawks have made a habit of signing iconic players at the very end of their careers. In the past, legends like Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens made very brief stops in Seattle as theirs were coming to an end. We can now add Adrian Peterson to that list.
Once the undisputed best running back in football, Peterson was the last non-QB to win the league’s MVP award and was a four-time All Pro. The best of his days came a long time ago with the Vikings and he didn’t last long with the Titans earlier this season. However, the Seahawks were desperate for a running back heading into December so they signed him to their practice squad.
Peterson only played one game in a Seattle uniform, totaling just 16 yards on 11 carries but still managing to earn a Hall of Famer worthy headline by tying Jim Brown’s career touchdown total. Peterson suffered some sort of a back injury in that game and was never on the field again this year.
