Fans are excited about the chance that we might see another Adrian Peterson in the National Football League.
The former Minnesota Vikings running back was a dynamic player who still remains the last running back to win the MVP.
We might have the next one coming in a few years.
Peterson posted his son’s highlight reel on Instagram along with this message: “Keep putting that work in, and all your dreams will come true! Keep God 1st, and you’ll never fail.”
That footage was re-shared by ESPN.

Adrian Peterson Jr. Made Headlines After His Father Was Suspended For Spanking Him
Adrian Peterson served a one-year suspension in the NFL after he was charged with child abuse.
Peterson served a one-year suspension in the NFL after he was charged with child abuse due to him spanking his son.
Peterson spanked his child with a belt and sometimes used a switch.
“I had to discipline my son and spank him the other day with a belt,” Peterson told Bleacher Report in 2018.
In 2014, a grand jury indicted Peterson on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child, and he would later reach a plea agreement and avoid jail time by pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault.
During the 2014 season, Peterson played in only one game with the Vikings because of the case, as he spent much of the year on the exempt list before he got suspended for the remainder of the season.
“I won’t ever use a switch again,” Peterson said, per USA Today.
