Despite his recent fall from grace, it can't be argued. Adrian Peterson is one of the most adept Running Backs in league history - amassing such records over the past 7 years as 296 rushing yards in a single game, and most 60+ yard returns in a career (12) among others.

He is incredibly controlled on-field, able to plow through defenses at incredible speeds, very rarely getting flattened. If Peterson can overcome his recent off field scandal, if the league will permit him to play again, and if the fans will forgive him, we may see him break a few records yet.
