The NFL's all-time leading rusher Emmitt Smith thinks only Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson can break the record he set back in 2002.
“If he doesn’t get it, I don’t know who’s going to get it,” Smith told Jean-Jacques Taylor of ESPN.com. “He’s still got a lot of yards to go. I’m not going to lie to you."
Smith finished his 15-year career with 18,355 yards, breaking Walter Payton's 18-year record of 16,726.
Thirty-year-old Peterson is a little less than 7,000 yards away from Smith's mark, ending the 2015 season with a career total of 11,675.
