Running back Adrian Peterson played for seven NFL teams. He’ll always be remembered as a Viking.
On Monday, November 9, the Vikings will induct Peterson into their Ring of Honor.
Peterson, who won the NFL’s MVP award in 2012 with a near-record 2,097 rushing yards a season after suffering a torn ACL on Christmas Eve, ranks fifth on the all-time rushing list, with 14,918 yards. In ten years with the Vikings, he rushed for 11,747 yards.
Peterson’s career was marred in 2014, when he missed nearly all of the season on paid leave following felony child-abuse charges that resulted in a no-contest plea to misdemeanor reckless assault.
The following season, he led the league in rushing, with 1,485 yards.
In all, Peterson was a seven-time Pro Bowler for the Vikings. He was named offensive rookie of the year in 2007, and he was a four-time first-team All-Pro and a three-time second-team All-Pro.
He’ll become the 29th member of the Vikings’ Ring of Honor — and it’s just a matter of time before he enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
