fifty six joining us now future Hall of Famer. One of the great
running backs in NFL history. I've talked to you many times
over the year. The first time I met you,
I have five broken bones in my hand. I wanted to find out how
what years about any other hand, clamp, down hard, and I'm
still in pain from it. Adrian Peterson, great to finally meet
you pal. Nice to meet you famous. Grip.
I got to do what I always do though, right?
Boom.
Just had seen.
We just had CDI lab. I'd boot his upset about that. Right?
Yeah. Yeah, you know, me UT also like I gotta do a double.
Whammy, right? Because
your OU and you're
the best player in Vikings history.
And this is Johnny Viking fan right here, right? So I gotta
just like to give you a little crap. A little bit. It's all
good. You know, we
you know, yeah. You own us. Look at the last 30 years.
I've been breaking Texas and no doubt about it. We're not in
your class anymore. They even close. No doubt. You really
have had an amazing career. Have you ever
Really taken a step back and
looked at the numbers and
ask yourself how I mean, this is just what I've done is amazing.
You know, I haven't done in a long time, you know, and but
I, but I have step back and just to see
like what I've accomplished
and it's a blessing,
you know, this is
it's what I Envision
coming into the lead and 07,
you know, I had the mindset that I wanted to be the best
ever play. You know, that's I just hit the Hi there, and like
everything else.
If I work and put it in, put in the work and I have this
mindset behind it. Then everything else will fall into
place. So the things I've accomplished thus far, it's
just been a blessing.
I mean, are you still
I know you love playing.
Are you chasing numbers to though and the process? I mean,
are you are, is that part of it? You're doing? Are you aware
of where you are and these rankings and want to get to
a certain place? No, no, no, and
that's really surprised. A lot of people. People. Yeah, you
know for me what I am changed chasing the number one Super
Bowl. I need that,
you know, fan but number one. Yeah, but outside of that. I'm
just playing. Yeah, I'm just like things that happen the way
they are supposed to happen. Like for it, for example,
a played one game in Seattle. Yeah, and then I remember doing
the interview and someone
towards the end of the season. It was like so you think you're
gonna come back so you can, you know, get I think you're like
79 yards from 15,000 right thing, honey.
I realized right, you know, right, you know, so
I want to continue to play and I feel like those things to come.
Yeah, keep it simple. Got you. Yeah,
the the time in Seattle, this year
included, a comment by Pete, Carroll that, maybe he would
like to add you to the coaching staff. At some point. Is that
something you're serious about doing when the playing career
ends? I don't know, you know, it would really
be something that I had to evaluate and think about, you
know, put a lot of time into thinking about that because
it's a Haitian, you know,
football and being a professional athlete, is already a
little time consuming and you got to be dedicated to it and
all in
and even more. So when it when it comes to being a coach, you
know being in the league for so long, I've seen
the hours these coaches have put in you know, 8:00 9:00 hot
nights. Sometimes you got guys that got pillows and covers in
there and our office where they're staying in so
to have such a long career and then
Retire whenever the time happens and then get right back
into it and invest more time.
That's a big commitment, right? You know, so I don't know, you
know,
maybe I'll think about it once that time come but if I had to
give you an answer, now,
it's not something I would do
2008.
You're in the Viking 2008. You're a rookie, your second
year, second year, second year, right?
You're one of the handful of people. I always tell about
lat, like when people say who in your career and press you on
the field. I was on the Tennessee Titans in 2008 as
a backup quarterback. You were, of course the man
you're still one of those guys. I always go.
Yeah, Adrian Peterson was different level than the rest
of the guys on the football field like no doubt about.
I look at you as one of the three greatest running backs all
the time. I mean you Jim Brown Barry Sanders would be my top
three, right?
Are ya respect? I would love to know what who's
who's like, two or three guys that you look at, to be like,
the all-time greats. And who's anybody playing right? Now that
you look at to go, like they got a chance to be may be on my
level or closed. Okay, you're talking about, it's for as
a running back position. Yeah, right, right.
Jim Brown is a guy that I have so much respect for right, you
know. For being a Trailblazer. Yeah. In the things that he was
able to accomplish on the field. Yeah, and yeah. And off
the field. Yeah. Well
so Jim Brown
Would be my number two back.
It's hard for me to put Barry Sanders at number two. Yeah,
because he was he was just different,
you know, we think about
yards and moving a rock up field, you know,
no matter how you do it, right, you being physical with it,
right? Worry breaking ankles, right? You know bear sounds
just I don't think I've ever seen anyone like him sits right
in, right? So
I would say, you know, those two guys and sweetness, of
course.
That would be yours. Yeah,
right. Now I now who's the one or two guys? Who look at to go.
Man. I just like his game. Mmm. I like Jonathan Taylor, like,
you know, he
he had an impressive
rookie year, right, you know, so I can see some things but
it's about being consistent. Yeah, those guys I named them,
right? They had long careers. No doubt distance. So
but you think he's got a chance with this body. Build. Yeah,
speed power. Yeah. He has a chance. I think
I like Derrick Henry as well
Davon cook. Is a guy that I look at that to me has the it
Factor, right? And he can be something very special with
a as well, but it comes to consistency. Yeah, like
Berkeley is another
guy that I look at right?
You know
that has that ability. Yeah, and I know he's coming off his
ACL right, you know, hopefully he freaking built exactly
freakish. He's probably the most talented back in and feel
right. Talking about the
this natural pure physical ability his.
Yeah, some yeah.
Adrian. Is there any part of you that hopes the way? And we
know there's so many factors so For things that happen injuries
contracts Etc.
Does part of you. Hope that it winds back to Minnesota at some
point. You can finish your career where you started it.
Yeah, I'll retire there for sure. You know, I don't know
if,
if I ever signed a one-year deal, you know, I wouldn't take
it off the table
and play there, but I'll definitely be retiring
Viking. At the end of the day.
Does it bother you the way running? Backs are treated like
contract? Really? Yeah, right. It bothers me, it bothers.
Fathers both of us were always like damn these. Guys is
the most physical position in the world.
And you know, by the time you're asking for a new
contract. Now you're different because you're like
the freakiest guy ever, but most running backs. It's time to get
the second country. Like, well, you're you've been worn out.
You've been, you run too much already.
Exactly. Would you like to see the NFL change that in some way?
I would. Yeah, like they're trying to diminish
this position. Yeah. I feel like this is the key position.
When you think about the success of the team,
right? You know, you got a team. That's running the ball. Yeah.
You know, only got a team that's going to be
part of damn good, right? Damn good. Yes, and so,
you know, and that's why I've continued to,
you know, play in and put my best foot forward to motivate
these young, guys, that, hey, don't let them box you in,
right? I'll let them tell you, you know, two to five years,
you're done. Exactly. You're done, right? You can do it for
a long
time, you know, so
it sucks, you know, that is happening. Yeah, but you know,
it's just kind of how the business is, you know, I gotta
change it. Yeah. Adrian's with us today. Thanks to the folks
at rebalance. Tell us more.
About what you have going on there? Yeah. So
I've been working with this new company rebalance and they got
an incredible incredible.
All natural supplement

ability, and mental
clarity, as well

or Even at home, you know, help optimize, you know, those
things and it's natural. So that's the good thing about me.

the morning, it gives you a boost pep in your step and it's
one in the evening that you take the kind of help you
score. It's called relax. I have to kind of mellow down and
then at night they have a dream catcher that you take. But
the magic behind it. Is it

to check it out. We got me information. We got that, check
it out, get the day started, something the middle and inner
to the bed. Yeah, inner tasty to write lament HK is all the
outfit. But if I take them, well, I just automatically
start looking like you and my shirt off. You were definitely
feel it. So like when I
when I first tried it
I didn't really know what to expect. You know, I
kind of read up on a little bit.
And I remember taking the energy one in the morning.
And
and I took before I went to go work out and it was just like,
it was different from like a pre-workout, you know, it was,
it was like a clean energy that I felt the Jennifer's no
Jitters or anything like that. So, that was amazing feel. And
then they relax, like, I'm always high
energy, right? So taking the relax in the evening.
It really kind of mellowed me down. I still have my energy,
but I would just I felt the difference. I think I'm really
kind of, you know,
I feel is Chill, you know.
Then
the dream catcher, you know, you trying to get a good
night's sleep. REM sleep. Yeah, but I feel my body, you know,
getting stronger,
you know, it helps with recovery and all that and you
know, I've been feeling the difference behind it. So
I would encourage everybody to try it out. I'm going
to hold out. Hope
that just one more time, one more year.
You're going to bust through the line. Paul Allen's going to
just one more year. Well, for Minnesota, no, no, I'm saying
exactly where you end up with no self. Hey, I'll take five
more minutes, Paul Alan shouts out and he's losing. This, they
blow the horn, blow, the horn

point. Come Back In The Box and get him some rebalance over.
