Okay, so this is just a little bit to get you Vikings fans pumped up about the upcoming season!

Adrian Peterson

Let’s recap his rookie season:

 

  • He rushed for over 100 yards 6 different times in 13 1/2 games
  • Tied the league for 2nd most rushing TDs (12)
  • Finished second in the league in Rushing Yards (1,341)
  • Ran for over 200 yards in a game twice (only rookie to do that)
  • Set the NFL single-game record with 296 rushing yards
  • Gained the NFL all time third best position for combined yards in a game with 361 against Chicago
  • Scored his first regular season TD of his career on a 60+ yard pass play
  • Had 1,036 yards after 8 games, the best first half of a season by a rookie ever
  • Won the Rookie Of The Year award
  • Was named the Pro-Bowl MVP

Those are just a few of the reasons why I wake up on Sunday mornings during the football season and wish my wife a “Happy Adrian Peterson Day”!
