Adrian Peterson is still chugging along into his 14th season in the National Football League.
At 35-years-old, Peterson is doing something we don’t typically see in NFL running backs—longevity. After a successful stint in Minnesota, the former Oklahoma running back has found a home in Washington.
He has climbed the rushing charts, but there are two goals he still wants.
“Winning a championship is the one I want most,” Peterson told NFL Network.
Peterson also said he’d like to become the all-time rushing leader and catch Emmitt Smith. He has 14,216 career rushing yard and needs to gain 4,140 more yards to pass Smith’s record of 18,355.
“That’s one of the goals I set to myself when I entered the NFL was to pass the GOAT,” Peterson said. “I look forward to playing a couple more years, 3-4 more years, who knows, depending on how my body is feeling.”
The NFL is scheduled to begin in Sept.
