Devin Hester in Chicago, Calvin Johnson in Detroit, AP in Minnisota and Aaron Rogers in Green Bay. The NFC North was must see in the early to mid 2010's
I always dreamed of an nfc north all time team. Name a Green Bay qb Calvin and moss as the wideout, Peterson, Payton and sanders as your rbs ditka at the tight end and carter running the slot and Hester/sayers as the return men. I don’t think anyone is beating that team
Back when ACL tears were career enders, Adrian set the bar. Now whenever a player gets an ACL injury yeah they’ll miss the season but the injury just 7 years ago was considered career ending especially for running backs. That just goes to show not only how far the treatment for the injury has come but how 1 guy with the drive to be the greatest running back of all time looked at that injury and said no you’re not slowing me down from greatness. AP is just the best I wish he was still on my Vikings
@@carlfreeman6687 he means that he was coming back not to be a MVP season more like he was not going to play the same snaps and just be slowed down, he cameback and was better!
That 2012-2103 season was so fun to watch as a Lions fan because there was a period where both AP and Calvin Johnson had a streak of 100 yards games going and everyone wanted to see who would drop below 100 first.
My brother is a Vikings fan. He would cheer so loud for AP in his rookie season, 2007, that the neighbors would call the cops lol. I have a lot of respect for Adrian Peterson
In my opinion after coming off that knee injury where he tore what every single Important ligament in his knee then having the season he had where he came up just a handful of yard short of the all-time rushing record I believe the knee injury more than makes up for those few yards and I consider this the greatest display of dedication hard work tenacity ferocity and shear determination and the single best rushing performance we have ever seen. AP was the perfectly built Rb a combination of size vision power speed acceleration elusiveness balance and heart..and one of the meanest stiff arms I have ever seen
2:10 I was mad asf that game when they gave him the ball all the way up until the last minute. Then didn't wanna give it to him one last time to break the record. Smdh
5:56 that stat is utterly ridiculous... if he had gotten just 2 extra yards in each of those first 6 weeks he would have broken the record. Had he ran like he did in the remaining 10 games, the single season rushing record would have been absolutely obliterated. I mean, just SHATTERED. This dude was so much fun to watch. It sucks he wasted most of his HoF career in Minnesota though. Dude deserves a ring.
I remember the first time I seen him play at Oklahoma and he rushed for over 200 yards and the first thing I noticed besides his size and phenomenal speed was his ability to break tackles and that steel club like stiff arm. I knew he would do the same in the NFL and he did just that. I hated that they suspended him like they did and then that injury that ended his season. That’s a lot of games and a lot of yards that was left on the field. The coach must be a fan of Eric Dickerson because A.P. had that single season rushing record in his pocket.
That was the greatest season by a running back in history..u have to give it to him.. a acl tear is worth more then 9 yards. AP is the most ferocious and violent runner of the football I have ever seen
We will probably never see a season like this again. The NFL is so pass happy and QB focused now, that even if a RB with this kind of talent emerged, he'd probably not be allowed to carry enough times to achieve 2100 yards.
@@Joaq-9mt It's still a damn shame that Henry wasn't allowed enough touches to get the NFL record. His team just didn't need it. AP is probably the last great running back in the League who almost single handed drug his team to a playoff berth that they did not deserve. The 2012 Vikings were a 7-9 or 6-10 team at BEST , but Adrian made them into a 10-6 Playoff team. We're not seeing that again soon.
As a Vikings fan if y’all take care of him and protect him he should be your best running back and most productive by far he still has more in the tank. HE IS NOT HUMAN.
The fact that someone like Christian ponder was even allowed to be on the field with AP is a disgrace. Given this man a qb to help with efficiency and he would’ve had a ring
It’s so disappointing knowing how much talent Minnesota has had over the years and still couldn’t win a championship, really shows how hard it is to win in this league
To this day I think AP got absolutely snubbed for NFL Comeback Player of the Year. I mean what other running back in history comes back from a complete ACL and MCL in just 8 months and puts up a 2000 yard season. I don't mean any disrespect to Manning but come on, AP defined what it means to be a comeback player.
He gained 2097 yards in 2012 season. And 1000 of them came AFTER contact. That’s ridiculous. Half of his record breaking season was literally just him breaking tackles 😅.
Always have said this At 6:03 if he jukes that guy he would've had the record. I know it being early in the year but he had it. Also he played more careful with his legs. I dont believe he was the same. Still great though. He's the goat of running backs
As a true freshman at OU. AD was doing 36" box jumps with 90lb barbells in each hand. He 1000% should have won the Heisman trophy his freshman year. But back then the Heisman voters didn't allow freshman to win the trophy 🙄 total BS.
There may have been a few other backs that were more well-rounded, but when you’re comparing prime to prime, no one was close to Peterson, it’s a no contest. AD everyday.
I mean a guy with his power and size the way he jus accelerates to after breaking a tackle it was ridiculous. If there’s a guy to start a franchise with that’s the guy to do it and i wudnt even recommend starting it with a RB
AD, Barry, and Sweetness. Pick any of 3, they're the GOAT, no argument from me. (Bo just didn't have the resume, ditto Sayers, and AD _is_ Jim Brown but faster, more explosive, and more agile.)
Imo- Manning was number 1. 4 neck surgeries and loss of feelings AND GRIP IN HIS THROWING HAND. AD is superhuman but Manning was on a new team and offense too.
And adrian peterson was a cheatcode on madden 13 i got torched by him online by a dude called donteventryme5925 that was his gamertag on the ps3 dude made me look bad breaking tackle jumping over me double spinmoves triple jukes he had 4 tds in the first half and 175 yards in the first half... I fuckin quit cause if i kept playing he would had 10 tds and like 500 yards i wasnt gone stick around to find out what he was gone do😭😭😭😭
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too foreverw
@@trippingkanga134 hes just salty that ad is one of the few backs that can argue to be considered close to Barry sanders. AP and sanders are the 2 best backs in history imo. Emmitt smith played behind the best oline in history for a decade and a half

ACL tears were common to fix in 2013. Maybe in the 90s? 2013 that's like 8 weeks and back at it

Best division in football that year.

Legend of my Era def gonna be missed
One of my favorite running backs he 🔥💪🏾💯🐐 and still is
Thank god dude, been looking for this video.

Just imagine now AP and Justin Jefferson and Jordan A playing with each other unstoppable
My favorite player ever.
Man I miss All Day Peterson! Jj just got #2 spot and it's been a long time since we got another MN Vikes in the top 5 SKOL
Estoy muy feliz de estar recordando los momentos más agradables de mi equipo favorito Vikingos de Minnesota

As a Lions fan. I'm beyond grateful for him to be here. Do him right Detroit, this can be Epic.

The lions ruin every player

@@RowdyRide just like how the lions broke Barry. Greatest rb ever couldn't even help them.
It’s crazy how old I’m getting.. this footage from 2013 feels like it’s from the 90s lmao
He's up there with Barry and Earl Campbell as far as pure dominance.
Still the best running back i have ever seen.. speed..power.. elusiveness and vision
Awesome only way to describe him

1000yds after contact....

4:23 real recognizing real, two of the best players of our generation from the packers and Vikings
I do wish they just would’ve handed it to him a couple more times for those 10 yards..
Literally a td threat everytime he touches the🏈
