Adrian Peterson
(One of the Greatest Running Backs in American Football History)
Adrian Lewis Peterson is a professional American NFL football player. He began his career playing college football at the Oklahoma University and soon became the first freshman to ever finish as runner-up in the ‘Heinsman Trophy’. With a traumatic childhood, Adrian put all his attention to football and made it his battlefield to vent out the pain and anger of his horrid past. In fact, he went on to bag the ‘NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year’ title in his debut season playing under the Minnesota Vikings. It wasn’t long before he claimed the title of the fifth fastest player to run for 5,000 yards. However, misfortune struck him in the prime of his career when he suffered a rather grave leg injury. Withstanding all odds, he fought his way back to fitness and was even titled the sixth fastest player to run for 8000 rushing yards. Ever since his injury, he has been on a success spree and is presently the third player to cross 10,000 rushing yards in all of American NFL history. In 2014, he was suspended for causing a negligent injury to hisson, but the following year, he was reinstated to the Vikings. In early 2017, he ended his decade long run with the ‘Minnesota Vikings’ and signed a two-year contract with ‘New Orleans Saints’.
