and had a sports hernia for the 2nd half the season in that 2012 year. dude played hurt and no one really talked about it because his numbers were ungodly
That's a good highlight video finally. I'd rather see a 4 yard run where a guy makes 3 guys miss than a long TD run where everything opens up and he runs down the field untouched. Most guys pick lousy highlights. I used to make videos until i got banned for copyright strikes.
He likely will be top 5 in both yards and TDs by the end of the year. He needs ~60 yds to be 5th in rushing yds and he needs less then 700 to get all the way to 3rd (Frank Gore is in there too)
One of the greats but definitely not top five maybe top 10 remember Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, Emmitt Smith, and Barry Sanders, just to name a few who definitely challenged him for top five spot. even Marshall Faulk who had really close running back stats and huge receiving numbers out of the backfield. So an all time great and a once-in-a-generation back but not top five love all time
What makes him even more impressive he never played for a team with a dominant Quarterback so the defense stacked up to stop him and he still was able to dominate. Another interesting fact he tore his acl on season in December. Came back the following September won MVP of the league and came within 10 yards of breaking the record for rushing yards in a season
@@ruger51995 correct. That game and otger games within close proximity of that time he was definitely off his game mentally. Idk what happened. But in his prime he was completely unstoppable.
@@colinhoeg4728 Brett Favre sucked ass. the only reason he is among ''the best'' statistically speaking is because the sucker played for 30 years in the NFL. Like seriously any QB that plays 19 season in the NFL would break all the records lmfao but he didnt, he simply got close too because he sucks. if he was good, he would of beaten these records for most passing yards and touchdown in a carret.
glonik it’s kind of like the country song. He’s not a good as he once was but he’s as good once as he ever was. May not have as many big plays a game but he still has them.
msw51995 Stats say otherwise there is a marked decline in RB numbers after 30. In life no it’s not past prime but in football as a RB after 30 is when they start to decline. WR get a few more years and QB’s a few after that. Sure there are exceptions but on the whole it’s the nature of the NFL. It’s a brutal sport and a decade of playing it takes its toll. Far different than running track as they don’t get chased by 250+ line backers and slammed into the ground.
Probably the only player in recent times that was NFL ready coming out of high school, just an absolute beast. He lives in my hometown now which is cool.
Keep it up! Great stuff. Fast AF! Strong AF! There was a period of about half a decade where he was the best by far. He was WELL known for delivering hits on defenders by the end of games you could absolutely tell that the defense was worn out and absolutely did not want to tackle him any more. He tore his ACL and came back from it cool story I am sure that is shown in the Joseph Vincent video.
So glad you finally made an Adrain Peterson video. Also, If you are looking to see some of the new young talent in the NFL, you should look into Alvin Kamara. He just finished his second year as a running back for the saint and already has an impressive highlight reel. He especially seems to have a habit of literally jumping over defenders.
One of the most complete running backs of all time perfect combination of speed agility and power which is almost unseen and he recovered from a brutal injury as well as winning the mvp in his first season back also coming second in the single season rushing record. Truly phenomenal player. But if you want to see a true speed demon you gotta check out Chris Johnson
6:10 The only 2 RBs who ever had that combo of speed and power were Bo Jackson and AD... unfortunately, that combo seems to result in serious injuries at some point.
Devin hester, nfl and college highlights are both top notch. adrian is my fav player of all time, as a cowboys fan it use to be emmitt smith but as sooners fan in college 'all day' won me over. Hes a bit old and weathered now but still had a amazing season this year. had a few runs that deserved to be on this video, seems like they didn't bother with his cardinals and redskins runs.
OU alum here. When he wore the Crimson and Cream we knew that something magical could happen every time he touched the ball. AD was so much fun to watch! He was a once in a generation talent to have here in Norman. I think he should have won the Heisman his junior year and have a statue on Heisman Row on Jenkins Street. But I'm obviously biased 😁
I was going to recommend the unbreakable video myself. He came back from a damned ACL tear, lead the league in yardage at over 2000, became the league MVP, and only failed to break the single season record because we had to kick the field goal win to reach the playoffs. Plus, the guy who does those videos does an amazing job with music that won't get striked... at least at one point. He will definitely be a hall of fame player as he is fairly high on the all time stats and currently holds the yards per game record. Which could have been even higher, but his head coach was sitting him.
Watched every snap of him in Norman at OU. There’s been a ton of players to come through since he went to the league, including multiple #1 overall picks, but AD is STILL the most amazing player I’ve ever seen in person. When he gets the ball, it’s electric.
I was born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma and I saw all of his college games and the guy is 6'2 225 with power and Olympic speed and that's not an exaggeration. After a 3 hour practice at Oklahoma, still in full pads Adrian Peterson ran a 100 yard dash in 10.3 seconds. I wouldn't of believed it but I saw it in person. And even last year with the Redskins he still ran for over 1,000 yards and he's still their running back. He is literally a freak athlete.
AP was the most excited I ever been for a Vikings draft pic. It was a blessing to see his career with the Vikings, he was unreal. Percy Harvin was also drafted by the Vikings and later traded but early on he had some amazing seasons. If you like highlight video's he's another guy that will amaze.
He's almost mythological status. Years back he tore pretty much every ligament and tendon in his knee and 4 months after he had his knee reconstructed he was at the Vikings training facility doing 5 and 1/2 foot box jumps. He tore his ACL then got back 4-5 months ahead of schedule and proceeded to rush for over 2,000 yards directly off of a torn ACL. That's absolutely BANANAS.
I went to a practice before Eric Dickerson's rookie year and me and my buddies were watching the players come out of the locker room for the practice. You could hear the players with their cleats jogging to the field, even the 180-190 lb corners. Then Dickerson comes out at '6 "3 225 lbs, and you couldn't hear his steps because of how light he was on his feet. He ran upright and you thought that he wouldn't be so effective, but he turned out to be a legend.
The reason it wasn’t taunting at 1:45 was because it wasn’t directed at a player or anyone specific. Taunting is only when you stare them down, point at them or make it directed in some way
He just signed a 2 year extension with the Washington Redskins. It will most likely be his last two years. He is old for a rb but hes a physical freak so he can still contribute. Well past his prime though! I'm an Oklahoma fan (season ticket holder) and was at all of his home games in his college career. Was fun to see in person!
As a freshman in college, he was the first underclassman to finish as runner up for the Heisman trophy, but was so dominant and so clearly should have won it that he forever changed the perception of the award, and the next several were all won by underclassman. He set the NFL single game rushing record, in his rookie season, against what was at the time the best defense in the league. He rushed for over 2,000 yards (2nd all time) a year after tearing his ACL, which should have been physically impossible. He is currently 8th all time in rushing yards despite multiple injury shortened years (and missing one for for suspension), and yes he is still a starting running back at 34 years old, which is ancient for a running back, and inhuman for one who's had as many injuries as he has. Without the injuries, he would have already shattered the career rushing record.
We called him Purple Jesus. Most of his career the Vikings were bad. He was our #1 weapon. Teams KNEW he was gonna get the ball and he still did all this. Amazing player
Half this video is college tape. But your right the college level had no chance against him. Holy cow he looks like a man playing middle schoolers out there
One of Saquan Barkley's younger idols, future HOFer Adrian Peterson! And you're correct, he was with the Redskins last season. They met after the 1st Redskins/Giants game and had a nice chat & passing-of-the-torch moment.
I’m pretty sure Joseph Vincent’s video goes over his injury where he tore his ACL. The season after he tore his ACL he came back and ran the 2nd most yards by a running back in a single season and was 9 yards away from beating the record and he won the MVP. In my opinion he’s top 2 all time and i was waiting for you to react to him and you finally did🔥🙏🏻
he sure looks like it here? what was his weakness? had speed, quickness, power, elusiveness. In a way, in terms of natural talent (video game attributes), he was almost Lebron-like in football at peak powers, as these highlights can attest.
Being from Minnesota, I've been a life-long Vikings fan and loved having AP on the team, but you need to check out his Vikings teammate, Percy Harvin. He was actually faster than AP and made some incredible plays, especially with Brett Favre at the helm!
He tore his ACL and 8 months later he started, he finished that year 9 yards short of the single season rushing record. The year after he tore his ACL. Insane
In his prime with the vikings he was unstoppable. The defenses feared him and he was not afraid to take the hits as you saw. A complete power and speed running back. There isn't much running backs like him in the league today.
Minnesota fans have not been blessed with a Super Bowl victory but have been blessed with getting to watch some of the super-elite players at their position. Tarkenton retired as the holder of every significant quarterback career record. Alan Page was named MVP even though he was a lineman who played defense (either was enough to disqualify every previous player). Randy Moss was Randy Moss (what other football player can make that claim?). Of course, they were all traded away (as were Carl Eller and Chuck Foreman).
I believe the surgeon who operated on his ACL marveled at the great condition of his knees (acl tear notwithstanding) saying they were “like a newborn’s.”
As a vikings fan I just wanted to say that you should check out the vikings 2009-10 season when Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, and Sydney Rice were on the team, also some background on Peterson, he holds the record for most yards in a game with 296!
Met Adrian Peterson at a frat party when he was in still college. I didn’t know who he was because I didn’t follow College FB at that age and he said “oh don’t worry, you’ll find out who I am” haha! But yep, amazing RB, historical great.
A new running back you should check out is Alvin Kamara. He was rookie of the year two seasons ago. He's not your standard RB, he doesn't run the ball every down. He's extremely versatile and catches the ball a lot. He's combined for over 1,500 yards rushing and receiving both years and has 31 touchdowns in just two seasons.... I love watching this guy play!
If you like fast running backs, you might want to check out Eric Dickerson. He played for the Rams and the Colts. He’s the all time rookie rusher, if I remember correctly. With his long legs, he looks like a gazelle running...lol.
That strut that he does when going into the end zone originally was done because it put your feet under you instead of in back of you, so it reduced your chance of getting takled. But today, a lot of players do it to show off.
Weighed 220 lbs and ran a 4.41s 40 yard dash, which illustrates something even most avid football fans don’t understand, the difference between time-speed and football speed. Adrian Peterson’s time-speed was the same as his football speed. He didn’t lose a millisecond when he put on pads and had folks chasing and grabbing him, which is extraordinarily rare.
He reaches top speed so fast cause he stands so far back from the QB when he gets the balls he already going fast... I got 4 AP jerseys 1 is a Sooners!!!
Some RBs score by looking for the best way out, and some just look for the shortest route to the endzone, and think good luck if you wanna get in my way. You know, the guys that step out before getting hit vs the guys that initiate contact for 3 more yards. AP ran away from nothing, and his injuries are just sad. Great player in college and NFL.
Tore his ACL & MCL. Returned the next season ( short rehab) and was 8 yards shy of the single season NFL rushing record. Unbreakable is deffinatly one to review.
Barry Sanders! Barry Sanders! Barry Sanders! You'll get goosebumps watching his highlights! He's UNBELIEVABLE! A.P. was playing for the Wahington Redskins and had a good season. Check out Barry Sanders before Bettis.
DUDE unbreakable is amazing, it’s about his injury which should have been CAREER threatening and he bounced back and had, IMO, the greatest season ever for a RB ( because everyone knew it was going to him every play and that’s it )
You should react to the No Fly Zone (Aqib Talib, Christ Harris Jr, and Bradley Roby. With TJ ward and Darian Stewart in safety position) And/Or Legion of Boom ( Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, and Bryan Maxwell) Though me being a broncos fan would much rather prefer the top one
Love seeing new fans of football see AP All Day Peterson. Players at that time reinvented American football. Vick, Tomlinson, Urlicher and others changed running/stopping the run in the 2000s. No one likes being literally embarrassed and schemes changed. I mention middle linebackers bc they adapted the best. Elite interior linebackers stopped these plays. Why it's still important to stop the run!
He tore his acl in 2011, then in 2012 he ran for over 2,000 yards getting 8 yards shy of the single season record and won the MVP that year.
and had a sports hernia for the 2nd half the season in that 2012 year. dude played hurt and no one really talked about it because his numbers were ungodly
Dill Pickle big facts
@@i1upp1ayer1 ua-cam.com/video/PyHtXfxwUgs/v-deo.html He even did an ad where he was pulling a truck.
He also holds the single game rushing record with 296 yards in one game.
@@adameves5970 as a rookie
One of the best running backs in history. Speed power agility.
Loved AP!
He was one of the few that 'go too hard'... super skill but always getting hurt. Thats a true love of the game-
@@TrickySmoosher agreed, he literally ran his body into the ground with his punishing running style.
That's a good highlight video finally. I'd rather see a 4 yard run where a guy makes 3 guys miss than a long TD run where everything opens up and he runs down the field untouched. Most guys pick lousy highlights. I used to make videos until i got banned for copyright strikes.
@@Dragon-Believer Well AP did both after running through tackles he would take it to the house most of the time
Been a Vikings fan my whole life and I don't care where this man goes I'm rooting for him
As a Packer fan, its always scary facing the Vikings. But with AP and Moss it was terrifying.
He is definitely top 5 running back of all-time
Of the 2000s maybe
msw51995 you’re dumb
@@ruger51995 id argue top 3 all time
He likely will be top 5 in both yards and TDs by the end of the year. He needs ~60 yds to be 5th in rushing yds and he needs less then 700 to get all the way to 3rd (Frank Gore is in there too)

When MN had favre that was the Superbowl team. Until the Saints spit on the decency of the game and started illegal bounties.
He had Favre and that year AP fumbled all.the time and he was not a benefit to the team, it was almost a garanteed fumble when he touched the ball
@@ruger51995 correct. That game and otger games within close proximity of that time he was definitely off his game mentally. Idk what happened. But in his prime he was completely unstoppable.
@Faheem Carter anything you say about football moving forward is now confirmed invalid unanimously. You piece of shit

That is why they call him “AD”. He’ll work like that ALL DAY. I watched him almost every Saturday while he was at OU. Very exciting player to watch.
They call him All-Day because he plays on every down.
Die hard Vikings fan here !! Love and appreciate AP .. seen him many times live at the game and he is unreal .
He plays for the Redskins. Hes older so hes not as good as he was anymore. But he did score a 90yd touchdown this season as a 33 year old
glonik it’s kind of like the country song. He’s not a good as he once was but he’s as good once as he ever was. May not have as many big plays a game but he still has them.

You gotta do a Devin Hester reaction bro. Great videos and keep up the good work. God bless.
devin hester pro and college highlights. i remember his return against Duke to this day. just wow
He has
"This is just unfair." Lol, it felt that way watching him play. For years our offense was "Give Adrian the ball and just let him do his thing."
Big Vikings fan from Minnesota I got to watch these amazing runs every week.every time he got the ball you just sit back and watch in amazement.skol!
As a Vikings fan, I appreciate this video so much. Great to see AP getting some love
As a OU fan. AD was a gift from God. Watching OU on Saturdays was epic while he was with us.
Keep it up! Great stuff. Fast AF! Strong AF! There was a period of about half a decade where he was the best by far.

Favorite player of all time. Being a Viking fan and seeing all his games you have no idea how much I miss this lol
like you said.. Perfect blend of speed & power.. Never seen anyone else like him.
THIS WAS A FIRE VIDEO AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRO!!! 😎🚫
I love your content mate keep going
I dig the new name of your channel and the logo at the beginning. Thanks for the great content again.
Love your vids my dude. Can't wait to see you playing here stateside. It'll happen if you keep at it my man.

C N marshawn lynch? Wasn’t exactly the quickest but definitely had speed
@@valium7141 Lynch had good speed but even in his prime, he never had the acceleration and finishing speed of Peterson.
Marcus Dupree had that kind of speed and size. He just didn't have the right mental6. He was 6-3-235-4.31- 10.2 100 meters.

He's a beast... Best RB of this generation for sure.. He still ballin too just no decent o line
Finally got to witness the greatness of Adrian Peterson 😀😀😀. Watching him at Oklahoma, you just knew he was going to tear the NFL up.
OU alum here. When he wore the Crimson and Cream we knew that something magical could happen every time he touched the ball. AD was so much fun to watch! He was a once in a generation talent to have here in Norman. I think he should have won the Heisman his junior year and have a statue on Heisman Row on Jenkins Street. But I'm obviously biased 😁
You haven't seen a RB highlight video until you've seen an AP highlight video. Best pure runner of his generation, by far.

I know this is a year old but unbreakable is a good video. It tells the story of his comeback after a scary career threatening injury.
"Oh My...What..how… ehhh. ehh. how have I not seen this earlier"

How many running backs are tagged to field kickoff returns? Also he put that shoulder down pounded the defense like a fullback.
Derrick Henry (Bruising Back) & Mark Barron (Head hunter) two great Alabama alumni that are just pure entertainment!
That strut that he does when going into the end zone originally was done because it put your feet under you instead of in back of you, so it reduced your chance of getting takled. But today, a lot of players do it to show off.
Weighed 220 lbs and ran a 4.41s 40 yard dash, which illustrates something even most avid football fans don’t understand, the difference between time-speed and football speed. Adrian Peterson’s time-speed was the same as his football speed. He didn’t lose a millisecond when he put on pads and had folks chasing and grabbing him, which is extraordinarily rare.
He reaches top speed so fast cause he stands so far back from the QB when he gets the balls he already going fast... I got 4 AP jerseys 1 is a Sooners!!!
Boomer!
Lemme get 1 lol
Some RBs score by looking for the best way out, and some just look for the shortest route to the endzone, and think good luck if you wanna get in my way. You know, the guys that step out before getting hit vs the guys that initiate contact for 3 more yards. AP ran away from nothing, and his injuries are just sad. Great player in college and NFL.
Tore his ACL & MCL. Returned the next season ( short rehab) and was 8 yards shy of the single season NFL rushing record. Unbreakable is deffinatly one to review.
He got snubbed for the heisman as a freshman he was an absolute beast at OU as well one of the best running backs of all time extremely gifted
Gale Sayers! Chicago back in the day, he’s the original, the Comet himself - you’ll be blown away bro.
Think you should do a (LT) ladainian tomlinson one he was unreal!
Barry Sanders! Barry Sanders! Barry Sanders! You'll get goosebumps watching his highlights! He's UNBELIEVABLE! A.P. was playing for the Wahington Redskins and had a good season. Check out Barry Sanders before Bettis.
Deuce McAllister, if you haven't already. King of carrying a pile of dudes with him into the end zone. Love the vids. Thanks 😊
Check out Maurice Jones-Drew. Amazing at only 5’8 power and agility.
Good Day mate, when he was in high school NFL teams argued to draft him at 18 so they wouldn't have to wait
It’s about time!!!
my favorite quote "when that head gets amoving he is gone."
He was 30 with one of if not the best top speed in 2015 he's a beast
DUDE unbreakable is amazing, it’s about his injury which should have been CAREER threatening and he bounced back and had, IMO, the greatest season ever for a RB ( because everyone knew it was going to him every play and that’s it )
You should react to the No Fly Zone (Aqib Talib, Christ Harris Jr, and Bradley Roby. With TJ ward and Darian Stewart in safety position)
And/Or
Legion of Boom ( Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, and Bryan Maxwell)
Though me being a broncos fan would much rather prefer the top one
Jake Schmitt why who cares?
Hey he still plays. As of 3/10/2021 he is signed and playing for the Detroit Lions
Leg injuries and father time have slowed him down a bit but he is still a monster whenever the ball is in his hands.
GOAT of GOATS
Love seeing new fans of football see AP All Day Peterson. Players at that time reinvented American football. Vick, Tomlinson, Urlicher and others changed running/stopping the run in the 2000s. No one likes being literally embarrassed and schemes changed. I mention middle linebackers bc they adapted the best. Elite interior linebackers stopped these plays. Why it's still important to stop the run!
His senior year at OU, he had 100 yerds average per game. He crushed the entire season and all the college records.
My good friend played free safety in high school. Unfortunately he met AP in the play-offs. He still refers to it as " the worst day of my life".
