MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Barring an unforeseen injury or a surprising lack of productivity, this is about to be a milestone season for Adrian Peterson — and not just because it’s his 10th year in the league.
Twenty-one yards from now, he will pass Fred Taylor for 16th place on the NFL all-time rushing yardage list.
And it’ll be just the first of quite a few dominoes likely to fall this season.
Peterson begins the year 17th all-time, but the top 10 — top eight, actually — is well within reach by season’s end.
“Yeah, that’s pretty good man,” Peterson acknowledged.
