Adrian Peterson hasn’t played an NFL game since 2021. But his career is not officially over yet. If he has his way, he wants to keep it that way.

In the league for 15 years, fifth most rushing yards in NFL history, 2012 MVP! Running back Adrian Peterson is an NFL legend and a future Hall of Famer.

In 2021, the now 38-year-old last stood on the field. Many already assumed that his career would come to an end. But not if “AD” (All Day) has his way! “Mentally, I haven’t officially hung it up yet,” Peterson clarified to “Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “

Hall of Fame induction would be delayed

“I think if God wills it, maybe an opportunity will arise, and maybe it will happen this season. Then I’ll keep watching. But if nothing happens this season, I will definitely finish it. “

Should Peterson fail to find an NFL team next season, he could be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as early as 2027, five years after his final active season – along with Rob Gronkowski or Richard Sherman.

If Peterson were to play in 2023, his earliest Hall of Fame entry date would be 2029.
