Getty ImagesVikings running back Adrian Peterson has run for more than 1,300 yards in his last eight games, an astounding figure that makes you wonder if anyone can actually stop him for any meaningful amount of time.
We’re giving it our best shot on Monday’s PFT Live. Peterson will actually slow down long enough to talk to Mike Florio about his recent burst of spectacular performances and his feelings about making a run at the NFL’s record for rushing yards in a season so soon after a serious knee injury. We’ll also hear from him about the Vikings’ playoff outlook as they sit at 8-6 with two games left to play.
Broncos cornerback Chris Harris will also drop by the show to talk about his team’s convincing 31-17 win in Baltimore on Sunday. With the Patriots losing on Sunday night, the Broncos have the inside track on a first round bye in the playoffs and we’ll hear what Harris thinks the Broncos need to do to keep things that way.
You can watch it all live at noon ET.

This guy is an absolute beast when it’s all said and done he will go done as the best back in history.
Are RBs held to the “you must have a ring to be the greatest” standard? Because I don’t see him winning a ring in minn…
1. Adrian Peterson
2. Jim Brown
3. Barry Sanders
4. Emmitt Smith
Adrian Peterson isn’t even better then Bo Jackson, let alone GOAT.
1) Barry Sanders (If you dont agree, then you weren’t alive to watch him.
2)Walter Payton
3) Jim Brown
Emmitt Smith had a lot of HOF help. The best O line in the history of the nfl.
I’d put AP up there with TD, and Marcus Allen for now.
Watch Adrian Petersons long run from yesterday. His head sits perfectly still with just his arms and legs working. He’s not looking around, turning his head side to side. He’s like a professional Olympic sprinter, so efficient in how he runs, awesome to watch.
Best ever is very different to quantify with so many variables….definitely best in the league right now.

————————-
The variables are the others that are considered the “best ever”. You compare AP with those guys and he’s right up there, statistically, and most definitely as a person off the field. Add in the bounceback after reconstructive knee surgery and the fact that he’s playing on an offense with NO passing attack and it’s not hard to come to “best ever” conclusion. Anyone thinking otherwise is either a biased rival ran or deluded.
