Adrian Peterson's Dominant Career Highlights | NFL

[@kedarakim3952]

Never forget when he came back from that acl injury. People said he was done. Proceeded to win mvp, lead his team to the playoffs & come within a few yards for the all time season rushing record. Gotta respect greatness.

[@JaredHettler]

And that was back when ACL injuries were a death stamp for your career. Greatest football season I ever watched. Also was the season peyton destroyed the NFL I'm pretty sure.

[@johntallarigo9947]

I remember that season. He was just over 1000 yards with 5-6 games left in the season and needed to average 140+ each game to break the 2000 yard mark and he freaking did it!

[@drewcliff82]

Yea he was literally the first athlete in a major sport to have that injury and come back to do something like that. There had been guys who recovered and came back but were shells of their former self. We also have to give credit to his doc who also became a superstar in the sports medicine world after that. His procedures are now the standard.

[@brianturner3955]

+Shaun Diebel Other than having a significantly better o-line and MAYBE a SLIGHTLY BETTER QB, I can't see how the Raiders have possibly a better chance of winning the Super Bowl and the Seahawks do. Seattle has the better defense hands-down. Seattle also takes the edge with their receiving corpse consisting of Doug Baldwin, Jimmy Graham, and Tyler Lockett over Amari Cooper and Crabtree.The loss of Latavius Murray is also going to hurt their run game. Seattle suffered its worst season of the year in terms of running the ball, because their two best running back's(Rawls,Prosise) combined to miss 17 games.They can add someone like AP,Jamaal Charles,or even Eddie Lacy to help bring back their aggressive run style.Seattle also plays in the easier division and they are a battle tested team that know how to win in the playoffs AP is much more likely to sign with a team that has been title contenders for the past 5 years,rather than a young inexperienced team that has been good for one season.
