Vikings RB Adrian Peterson to Chase History at 31

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson claimed his third career NFL rushing title in 2015 as he rushed for 1,485 yards and tied for the league lead with 11 touchdowns.

But Peterson, who turned 31 years old Monday, isn’t planning on slowing down anytime soon.

After yet another impressive season by Peterson, ESPN.com’s Ben Goessling examined what Peterson could accomplish as he gets older.

Statistically, though, it would be markedly more impressive for Peterson to reach that rushing total this fall than it was for him to do it at age 30.
