Fresh off of a season in which he ran for 604 yards and seven touchdowns with the Lions, 36-year-old Adrian Peterson is hoping to play for a winner in 2021.
“I’m looking for a contender. I’m looking for a team that’s built to go and chase a championship,” Peterson said via Sirius XM. “That’s my ultimate goal and I feel like I can really help to contribute in accomplishing that. A team with a good quarterback, a good defense and some playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. For me to be able to get into that type of situation would be perfect.”
It’s amazing that Peterson is still able to contribute given his age.
If Peterson is able to continue playing into the 2021 season, keep on eye on the record books. Peterson’s 14,820 rushing yards rank fifth in league history, just 449 behind Barry Sanders for fourth.
Peterson also has 118 rushing touchdowns, good for fourth in league history. He needs six to surpass Marcus Allen for the third spot.
