His team may be tanking, but Adrian Peterson has lived up to his nickname—”All Day”—since he was drafted 7th overall by the Vikings in 2007. In his first season, he rushed for over 1,300 yards, scored 12 rushing touchdowns, and was named Rookie of the Year. (Here is a video tribute to Peterson’s first year).
