Click image to watch Adrian Peterson “SportsCenter Conversation” On ESPN
The NFL’s best player (see Madden’s 99 rating, your fantasy league and his 2012 stats), Adrian Peterson was next to be featured on ESPN’s Sunday SportsCenter Conversation series. Last year, he was 8-yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record in the history of the NFL during the Minnesota Vikings last game; but he opted for the team to ensure a playoff clinching field-goal squeaking past the Chicago Bears for the final spot.
Dickerson still remains at top with 2,105 yards, as A.P. is right behind at 2,097. In the conversation with Bob Holtzman, he insisted on planning to top his two thousand rushing yard season and eclipse Dickerson’s record for the upcoming season beginning later this week. Peterson was accused of HGH using by fellow NFL players that humbled him; which he hopes for the league to implement a performance enhancing method of testing.
The interview closes out with speaking on controversial QB, Johnny Manziel allegedly receiving money for signing fan autographs this year. Adrian voiced his support for the 20-year-old Aggie and said the universities make far more money than giving him a 4-year scholarship on merchandising, ticket sales, TV and more.
