Adrian Peterson wore this jersey during the 2009 NFL season, his third with the Minnesota Vikings. The former Oklahoma Sooner was one of the NFL’s top running backs that season, churning out 1,383 rushing yards and a league best 18 touchdowns on the ground. Peterson continued his exceptional performances in the playoffs, rushing for 122 yards and three touchdowns as the Vikings lost a heartbreaker to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game by a score of 31-28. The bruising tailback also had a career year with Brett Favre as his quarterback, reeling in career highs in receptions (43) and receiving yards (436). The 2012 NFL MVP was named to the Pro Bowl and earned a first team All-Pro selection in 2009.
