Former Sooners star Adrian Peterson is running strong in his 30s

Adrian Peterson knows how most people see running backs in their 30s.

So he asked Washington Redskins legend John Riggins how he dealt with it.

"He was like, 'I'm taking care of my body and I have that mindset of you still got it and that determination. Most importantly, playing real hard,'" Peterson said. "Those are some of the same things that keep me going. It's always good to get confirmation from guys who have done it before."

The former Oklahoma star is confirming to everyone else in the NFL he's still got it. Peterson's 236 yards are good for fifth in the league, only three players have more than his three touchdowns and the 33-year-old's contributions are one of the biggest reasons the Redskins are 2-1 at their bye week.
