Just last week Vikings running back Adrian Peterson made some predictions about his numbers in the upcoming season. He expects an improvement compared to next season, a substantial improvement.
Peterson hopes to rush for 2000 yards compared to his 1,341 he had in his rookie season. He did miss two games due to injury but over the 14 games he did play, he averaged below 100 yards per game. To reach 2000, Peterson would need to raise that average to 125 yards per game. Not to mention there have only been five players in NFL history to reach the 2000 yard mark. Among them are OJ Simpson, Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, Terrell Davis, and Jamal Lewis.
Peterson also wants the MVP award for the 2008-2009 season. These for sure are high hopes for the 2nd year running back. But, there's no denying his talent and it seems that the sky is the limit for Peterson.
