Adrian Peterson, 35, has no intentions of retiring from the NFL anytime soon and has his eyes on Emmitt Smith's No. 1 spot as football's all-time leading rusher. The Lions running back said he wants to play until he is in his 40s.
"I want to set the bar at a different level,” Peterson said in an interview with TMZ. "I want to literally be a 40-year-old back out there rushing for 1,500 yards and amazing people still.”
Peterson hasn't rushed for 1,500 yards since his absurd 2012 MVP campaign when he racked up 2,097 yards on the ground but he did come close in 2015 when he had 1,485 rushing yards on the year.
