Could Adrian Peterson be retiring?

Adrian Peterson Vikings Minnesota Vikings NFL

One of the best running backs in the history of the National Football League is currently pondering his future. According to CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson, former Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is set to make an announcement about his future in April.

The former NFL MVP in 2012, Peterson holds numerous Vikings and NFL records including 296 yards in a single game during his rookie season in 2007.

The Vikings selected him with the seventh overall pick in that 2007 draft and he played with the Vikings for 10 years. During that time, Peterson achieved multiple things.

2007 Rookie of the Year
2012 Offensive Player of the Year and MVP
4 times first-team All-Pro
3 times rushing yards leader
2 times rushing touchdowns leader

If Peterson retires from the game of football, he would finish with the fifth-most rushing yards ever wht 14,918 yards.
