Sometimes you see a person moving through life and you can’t help but think that they’re doing exactly what they were meant to do.
For Washington’s running backs coach Randy Jordan, he looks at Adrian Peterson and knows that he was meant to play football. At 6-foot-1, 217 pounds, and approximately zero percent body fat, it’s hard to look at AP and think that he’d be better suited doing anything different than playing as a running back in the NFL. Even at age 35 — which is ancient for an RB — it’s hard to argue that he should be anywhere else, especially as he continues to mow people over without showing a hint of regression or age.
As we enter yet another year, questions will still come up about AP’s health, and whether or not Father Time will be coming to collect rent this year. We’ll see what Peterson has to say this year. If it’s anything like years past, retirement will be sent packing.
