It’s truly incredible that Peterson will still be playing in the NFL at the age of 35. Most running backs are lucky if they make it a few years.
It’s simply a brutal position to play. Players get chewed up, spit out and replaced all the time like it’s nothing at all.
Yet, Peterson has managed to stick around for a very long time.

He’s obviously not the same player he was back in the day with the Vikings. He was once one of the most dominating running backs in league history.
Those years are far behind him, but he’s still a solid player who brings a veteran presence.

It should be interesting to see how he can do as a 35 year old running back in the NFL. By simply still being around he’s beaten the odds.
