As a Vikings' fan, I'm heavily biased but the guy was simply incredible in his prime. There were times where he would rush for 1, -2, 3 yards, then boom, 80 yard TD. He ran violently and had plenty of speed. Last non QB to win the MVP award btw. He should be a first ballot HOF.

​@ernestomoreno4409 exactly. Ap would go for 4,4,18,6,7,34,4,14,22,96,33,66. His rush line always looked like that. Had all the gears. The power, and vison. He was as good as the older folks talk about jim brown being. Brown, Ap, and Barry are the best the position has ever had

Being from Minnesota, naturally I grew up to be a Vikings fan, despite all of the ups and downs it entails. Being born in 1980 meant that the glory years of Bud Grant, the Purple People Eaters, and four Super Bowls were behind me, but I also was able to witness some great moments. Moments such as the infamous benching of GOAT Joe Montana in the 1987 playoffs, the 21 sacks by Chris Doleman in 1989, the historic 1998 season and many more. Having had front row seats to all of that history of greatness, I can truly say that Adrian Peterson was the absolute highlight of all of it. I consider myself highly blessed to have been there. Sidenote: all the stories of the man's handshake is not hyperbole, when I met him at the Minnesota State Fair in 2012, it was like shaking hands with the jaws of a Nile Crocodile.

IMO he's the best RB ever. Nobody checked every single box like him. He was the fastest guy on the field, he could run you over, he could pass catch and pass block. The only other guy that comes close to his skill set in my mind is prime Zeke, but something Adrian had on Zeke is longevity, which is another reason why he's the best.

AP was undeniably one of the greatest running backs thats ever lived. One thing that is talked about, but not enough in my opinion as a Vikings fan, is how absolutely terrible those Vikings teams were outside of 2009. I recall every game, for 80% or more of the game, the defense would load the entire box just to stop him, and he would still run for 100 yards on a normal day. 150+ on a good day. He was incredible. And most of the time they were trying to throw themselves back into the game after the 1st half, too. The man was unstoppable for a while. Plus just the combination of speed, power, vision, acceleration (maybe his best trait, 0 to 100 faster than anyone other than Chris Johnson I have ever seen), size, and the intangible factor of his legs running until after the whistle blew. He was relentless.

As a Minnesota born I'm thankful to have watch all his game and saw every crazy run and TD. Every game i watch because I knew he would break out a crazy run no matter what the situation was. Just keep feeding him the ball and you knew sooner or later he always brake out a crazy run every game. Still remember the game against the seahawk he broke out on the very first play. Or against the lions on the first week on the first play for a 75 TD run.

He had his best statistical season in 2012, but what a lot of people don't realize is he was at his best before the knee injury. He noticeably lost speed and power after that injury, if you go back and watch his highlights from 07-11 he had freakish speed and power. He became more patient and improved his vision from 2012-on, but his most impressive highlights came before that season.

Adrian Peterson was a 1st Round 7th overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft by Minnesota he definitely was one of a kind superstar this is his coming out party in his Rookie Season 296 yards vs Chargers was one of the greatest if not the absolute BEST single game performance in NFL's History no doubt about it he's definitely a 1st ballot Hall Of Famer in my opinion but at the same time he's won a the NFL's MVP in 2012 after coming back from a injury in 2011 against the Redskins but really continued to prove he was a impactful player 2012 he ran for 2098 yards in a season only 9 yards away from the 1984 Season when Eric Dickerson had 2,105 in that time span make no bones about it AP a.k.a All Day will still be the absolute BEST RB of All-Time even though he's not hunted of things that he didn't do like winning a Super Bowl Championship or have another 2K yards of a season 0:48

The only problem that I had against Adrian Peterson in his career was if he didn't have that incident in 2014 which made him not play all year, he probably would've hit top 3 or 2 all time records as a running back.

It should be noted, that monstrous 2012 season came with one of the worst starting QBs of the last 30 years in the NFL. There was no threat of anything going over the top, the box was always stacked again him. Absolutely incredible. PS - Barry Sanders still was clearly the best RB of all time. And Im a die hard Vikings fans.

As time goes on, the RB job gets harder because everyone wants to see passing. U gotta account for that when comparing AP and Sanders.

Barry Sanders averaged more yards per carry than Peterson despite having a much much much higher rate of first defender getting to him behind the line of scrimmage. Barry the best.

Fumble machine in the most critical moments of the biggest games. NFCCG in 2009 he fumbled a handoff completely untouched at the 5 yard line right after the Vikings recovered a turnover in a tied game. This was the critical moment of the game where the Vikings would’ve taken the lead and won the game. He only put up great stats in meaningless games and seasons, but when he had a chance to win he didn’t make a meaningful difference. Career high in fumbles in 2009 with Favre.

He’s overrated. Not saying he wasn’t good, he was just overrated. He benefited from bad tackling ( at the shoulders instead of legs). It’s telling when your team doesn’t trust you with 3rd and short. Also, he had league high negative-0 yard gains his seasons he produced high rush numbers

My one negative with AD / Adrian Petterson was he fumbled too much and often in crucial moments/sutuations " i still enjoyed watching his very talented athletic abilities and endeavors " i only wished all of his career been like his rookie 2007 season tho and a SB ring with vikings wouldve been nice 🎉❤

Hated seeing him twice a year. Big, strong, fast. You had to stop him behind or at the line, because if he got in the open field you werent stopping him. Might get lucky saving a td after 40, 60 yard gain.

As a Bears fan from the pre-touch football ouchie booboo feelings kneeling era - Adrian was an absolute UNIT. Amazing vision and perseverance, you werent taking him down unless you played at the same tension level. Then NFL proved south park was right again and i switched to hockey before Adrians career was done, i always assumed he just kept being a monster into his 30s
