Adrian Peterson beat his kid with a stick. I’m not watching this anymore if you aren’t gna do your research and celebrating a domestic abuser.
When AP tore his ACL on Christmas Eve, 2011 we all thought he was done for, like his athleticism was gone. Little did we know that he would come back and run for his career high 2,087 yards! Now that’s what I call incredible. This guy was just built different!
steroids are amazing.
@@kambion that’s such a lame and half assed response. Why post that? Do you have proof? Also, just using the general term of “steroids” as some catch all for cheating. Do you research and don’t be an asshole.
@@kambion shut up fat boy
A.D. stands for All day he got that nickname in highschool and that's what he went by at Oklahoma
@kambion you're not insinuating anything illegal are you?
AP was a rare combination of size speed power and complete ferocity. He ran to hurt people and he could outrun almost anybody. He set the record for most rushing yards in a game with 296, as a ROOKIE. That record still stands to this day. Absolute monster.
He played for my college. We called him AD... All Day. His strength was literally his strength. When asked how much he benches, Coach Stoops said " The World". I sure miss those days, BOOMER SOONER.
This is incredible! Thanks for the comment
Yea I knew a guy who went to his high school with Adrian and he told me his nickname was AD…back in 2006 too
A lot of sports commentators still call him AD. That's what I've always heard him referenced as the most, All Day.
OU!
AD is his correct nickname
Only person to recover from an ACL tear that quickly. Dude was a straight animal
Adrian Peterson aka AD (as in ALL- DAY) was a fairly quiet guy, he let his playing do all the talking. He had the career in football that Bo would have had if he had recovered and focused on football full time. Speed, power, Agility, and sheer WILL. One of the few RBs that could run through you or around you.
A bit of trivia, he was on the Oklahoma team that lost to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Love this C Teal, thanks for the context! Sounds like we’ve definitely got to see more highlights for AD now we know his comeback story
The season he returned is arguably the greatest single season rushing performance in the history of the NFL.
Prime AP was just so exciting to watch live. You never knew when he was going to break out, but you also knew that every time he touched the ball it was a possible touchdown. What he did after destroying his knee is nothing short of incredible.
Yeah you guys will love Adrian’s career highlights. First Randy Moss, now AP - on behalf of all Vikings fans, the invite’s there if you wanna hop onboard! The plus side is you can be apart of a team’s first ever championship! The downside is they, uhh… they make it tough on us lol
Should do one on Sean Taylor. Sad story, but what a player for a short period of time.
I dont think ive ever seen such a small sample size but was convinced even from that amount of play that he wqs one of the best Safeties ever.
That game against the Packers was the greatest game I have ever seen an RB play. He put the team on his back and willed them to victory. We likely won't ever see another season from an RB like that, ever again.
now u gotta watch Emmitt Smith, the all time nfl leading rusher.. amazing he was so tough and ruthless. he is 5’7”.. and with over 18,000 yards for his career.. more than anyone else
This was a special season for Adrian. His career highlights are even crazier. Defenses knew he was coming as the vikings team was a rather straightforward run offense paired with a fantastic run-stopping defense. It was old school football at its best.
Adrian is a quiet, humble guy. Not loud and flashy at all.
Great to know, sounds class! Thanks for the context
Yeah, I was gonna say, not a showman at all. Just came in & did his job.
He took a switch to his son and beat him. He was arrested on a flight with his wife whom he was verbally abusing. His lawyer got him off on both. Not sure if he cleaned up his act but he clearly has a violent tendency towards his family. Let’s not sugarcoat or ignore this. If he did this today, he would probably be suspended for a year, and forced to go to anger management therapy.
@@hrussell9677 he's not the first to discipline his child and have arguments with his wife and he won't be the last. He was a superstar so his "so called transgressions' got highlighted more. Shut yo goody two shoes behind up because the way you commented you have definitely had some shortcomings in your life..
@@hrussell9677 but what if he did those things at any point in human history before 20 years ago...
As a die hard Viking fan, to see AP and Moss every Sunday was otherworldly in terms of I’ve never seen anything like these two before
Growing up a Bears fan I feel privileged to have seen so much of Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, and Adrian Peterson. Three of the greatest RBs of all time playing for different teams in the NFC North (or the NFC Central when I was growing up).
Three players who were different but who could do it all.
I don't think anyone ever combined power and speed the way AP did, and his work ethic and resilience is legendary.
Pretty much everyone in the NFL endures pain and physical hardship to stick around, but the only RB even in the same conversation for mental toughness, IMO was Frank Gore.
After a decade in Minnesota, Peterson played for New Orleans, Arizona, Washington, Detroit, Tennessee, and Seattle.
One of the best things about Adrian Peterson is he carried his teams every year on his back they never had good quarterbacks and didn't win a super bowl but finished 5th all time in rushing yards
And that was with facing 8- and 9-man boxes every play!
@@adamkoslin9302 Yeah, the defense KNEW who was getting the ball.
@Tim Seeburger the great Christian Ponder or Adrian Peterson idk its something to ponder lol
@@sacrilegiousboi Yeah you were right. ngl though I had to check for myself but it sounded right.
His rookie season was 2007, the injury happened at the end of the season in 2011 when he had established himself as the best RB in the league...2012 was his comback season when he won the MVP, and dragged a mediocre Vikings team to the playoffs while coming a few yards shy of the all time single season rushing record
I played football for 13 years 2 years in college, as a halfback. Adrian Peterson is a halfback's halfback. I and so many others in our position idolized him, he's forever the GOAT.
Peterson was drafted in 2007 and the acl/mcl injury happened in 2011. He had about 4 and 1/2 years of being the best running back in the NFL (maybe ever) before it
He also won MVP for the year he came back and had some great and some good seasons after. He was a pretty quiet guy for his whole career actually
AP was the most dominant running back I have ever seen
Purple Jesus. Magical player. Been watching the Vikings play for 30 years, my favorite player by far. Last MVP who wasn't a quarterback and no he wasn't a showman.
I love the high stepping almost as much as the galloping. There's a certain FU to that running style.
Since 1997 6 people have come with 100 yards of breaking that single season record 4 since 2003 and no one can break it but Adrian is still a legend
Great reaction to AD's come back season! However, whenever you watch a Joe Vincent "Bored Filmgrads" production there will be an introductory prologue before his title card and a closing epilogue after his "Bored Filmgrads" card. In this one it shows Adrian Peterson being named the league's "Most Valuable Player". It is the most prestigious regular season award for any player. AD is the only non-quarterback to win the award in sixteen years! That just goes to show how truly respected and revered he was for what he accomplished that year. Also, he is a proud supporter of his alma mater the University of Oklahoma Sooners at which he had a great career. Boomer Sooner!
Thanks for this Sean, didn’t realise, will take a look! That’s an incredible stat
@@DNReacts Off topic but... One tradition with the CBS TV broadcast of Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament "March Madness" is that during the Final Four and at the end of the Championship broadcast they play various memorable highlights of the entire tournament to the the 1986 song "One Shinning Moment" by a David Barrett. While a traditional 80's type song (I was a teenager during the decade), it is a celebrated tradition of the TV broadcast. There are various videos of the song with highlights for that season's tourney on CZcams channel "March Madness". May be worth checking a few out. Cheers!
One of the greatest RBs of all time and easily my favorite. SKOL AD!
I'm also a fan of OU, his college. People called him AP and his nickname is actually "AD" stands for all day. His mother gave him the nickname because he would just play all day and had so much energy as a kid. Dude was robbed for the Heisman his freshman year in college, he was incredible. 1,925 yards, 15 TDs, 11 100 and 3 200 yard games. He only had 1,100 and 1,000 his soph and jr years.
AP is unbelievable. Instant HOFer. Dominated his era of rbs. Even in advanced age he can put in work. Insane.
You guys should check out the injury and recovery of quarterback Alex Smith. One of the most miraculous return to play from a gruesome I jury. He actually had a really wonderful TED talk. He shows you his leg post recovery, which even after it's healed looked like a total mess.
Thank you for the suggestion Randy, I’ve added this one to the list!
Should add that it sounds incredible he even came back!
@@DNReacts he came back, had his best season, then decided to hang up his boots. He almost died from an infection after the initial surgery.
Enjoying watching both of you learning more about the game and its players with each video. Keep them coming!
Lots of impressive players throughout the years. Lots of exciting games for various reasons: playoffs, super bowl, comebacks, etc... A very storied history with the NFL, and college football as well.
Thank you, we really appreciate the support! We will keep them coming for sure. We’re only just getting started 😀
Love AP. All Day. #28
I'm from Oklahoma where Adrian went to college. When he first committed to Oklahoma, I started following his high school senior year. He averaged 12 yards per carry as a senior in high school, which is absolutely insane.
Adrian Peterson was what got me into football. I knew he was a good RB, but I really got spoiled and did not truly appreciate just HOW GOOD he was.
He won mvp that season and he’s one of the only RBs of recent history to win mvp. Crazy comeback season for him
AP was my inspiration when I broke my neck. (Happened a few months after AP's knee.) Being a Minnesotan, we were kept updated on his recovery routinely as if he were family.
The day I got to see him at Vikings summer camp I freaked out and cried. The freak out came when the friend that was driving, they did a brake check in the parking lot, right infront of the crosswalk AP was on. Thankfully, I had sat in the back, so hopefully he didn't notice me when I had met him later. Sorry AP😅
Mike Alstott was a real bulldozer style runner. Jerome Bettis as well. Fullback runners.
I live in Minnesota, watched his amazing career with the Vikes! His replays still blow me away!
He was drafted in 2007 and was injured in 2011, his fifth season. He played until 2021, although he wasn't as impactful over the second half of his career.
When AP came to seattle for a game i was so stoked... he is a legend
Adrian Peterson was *so* good, the NFL wanted him as a sophomore in college...
My cousin was attending the University Of Oklahoma when he played there (my home state). She said he was so pampered they drove him around campus to his classes on a golf cart
Another player you guys should watch is frank gore, he actually tore both of his ACLs in college, he then went on to play until he was 40
Really extraordinary running back. One of the best all-around to ever do it. He was arguably best in the league for a good decade where most top running backs in a given era hold their crown for maybe 3-4 years tops.
He was man among boys in college but still a beast in the NFL
One of the greatest of all time
Power, speed, quickness, toughness. His highlights are insane.
Theres a funny adrian peterson video from a news team in minnesota (where he played) and they were interviewing pedestrians about a random topic and they had no idea it was him until the end when he gave his name and the reporter was surprised
AP is my favorite running back to watch.
Earl Campbell, Earl Campbell, Earl Campbell!!!
My cousin Fahu Tahi blocked for AP as a fullback. Loved watching them tear it up. 💯💯💯
The way he performed that 2012 season after coming back from that horrible injury led to him winning the NFL MVP Award. He is the last non-QB to win the NFL MVP Award to this day.
Y'all definitely need to react to Ladanian Tomlinson especially his 2007 season.
LT was incredible.
(Actually, both were now that I think about it, since Lawrence Taylor was an LT as well)
Chills. He created football fans, including me.
The thing about some of the greatest running back like AP is that he played on a bad Vikings team where other teams whole game plan is to "stop the run" against them because they can't pass good and he still goes out there and dominates.
I will forever remember the first time I saw Adrian Peterson play. ALL DAY is arguably the greatest of all time because how he came back from his injury, it's literally impossible becoming possible.
Adrian Peterson was a really quiet nice guy. The other backs to react to would be Jim Brown, Earl Campbell, Tony Dorsett and Marcus Allen. You have to recognize the times they played and the rules in place at the time they played. Now for defense take a look at Jack Tatum, he was called The Assassin.
Thanks Linda, love that, he sounds awesome! Got those all in the list, have added Tatum who we didn’t have
AP was running over people in college too at Oklahoma, and if I remember correctly he actually broke his collar bone by diving into the end zone to show off. He then did the same thing again in his first season in the NFL so they told him to stop diving for no reason lol... so he just started running over people instead
My favorite running back
It's a pleasure to watch you guys react and learn. You're clearly sports fans and, just like most sports fans, I'm sure it is important for you to know enough about a sport to be able to hold a strong and informed opinion about what you're seeing. I give you loads of credit for being willing to humble yourselves while trying to learn about sports you don't really know a lot about. That's difficult for a lot of people to do.
Appreciate that Michael, we went into it completely open minded and willing to learn and it’s been good fun! Thanks for your comment!
Adrian Peterson is the best runningback I've ever seen. And I'm a Packers fan.
He was in the Boise St Oklahoma game. I could be mistaken, but I wanna say he broke his collar bone in like the first few games that season and healed and came back for that game. He was showboating or something and rolled into the end zone and broke it and missed all of the season until then.
That was just the best season, you need to see his entire career!
We’ll do more Peterson! We want to see his best highlights too
He was a rare breed of running back. Tall, heavy, strong, and fast.
This is the best running back of all time
adrian peterson was one of a few elite running backs during his age. the way of the pass had begun with brady manning and favre dominating the league but there were outliers and peterson after his first season cemented himself as the best, he was in his 4th or 5th year when he got injured, and he came back and immediately was the best again.
My favorite player ever and I’m a Browns fan lol
Landed on your page randomly. Scrolled to make sure you watched AP all days best plays. Best ever. B
Adrian was creating a Hall of Fame career prior to this injury. This injury happened in the middle of his prime. He was not necessarily a showman type of player. Never bragged and always stay humbled. A lot of his highlights were against historic defenses as well. He's the best pure running back to ever grace the field. 6'1 217lbs that could run completely through multiple players and cut on a literal dime and get back to full stride with in two steps.
Peterson was the last of dying breed at Running Back. Most backs in today's offenses are platooned where they have a rotation and specialized backs for 3rd down. Peterson was an every down back - carried the ball 25+ times per game with a violent running style. There are very few of these types of backs left - Derrick Henry is one.
I remember ESPN showing his average stats for his college career vs the first 4 years of his NFL career. His NFL stats were somehow better than his college stats 🤯
That’s crazy!
All Day!! Dude torched my Lions for years. You should check out “Megatron” Calvin Johnson! Arguably the greatest wife receiver ever but retired early due to team always sucking.
Prime AD was unstoppable, great reaction
Thank you Tmac 😀
Beast
One Halloween night my mom and dad took my older brother trick or treating in Athens Tx and noticed no one was handing out candy which was unlike the norm, they learned the next day that Adrian Peterson from Palestine Tx played against Athens at home that night, and the whole city was at the game!! They said AD
(All Day) didn’t even come out the locker room after halftime! Game was already over😂😂😂legendary stuff
Nice video to watch after my nap. Thank you guys
Our pleasure Fabreeze!
Appreciate you guys. For
Watched him play his entire college career. He was special. You knew it immediately.
Vikings fan here. Peterson was not a showman at all. That gallop into the endzone was all he really did. He was a man playing with boys
Love the vids
Thank you Taegen, really appreciate the support
Eric Dickerson has the single season rushing record. He ran for 2,105 yards ion 1984. Football was a much different sport then, and people ran the ball a lot more. Because of that, his record is seen as impossible to beat in today's pass heavy offense. Just 8 months after completely destroying his knee, Adrian Peterson (AP, AD are his nicknames, AD stands for "all day") got 2,097 yards. Just 8 yards short. He carried the vikings to the playoffs, and won MVP, which is considered a QB award these days. The off-season was about whether AD would play again, or even be close to who he was. Instead he had one of the greatest seasons a RB has ever had. Check out his full career highlights. This is just 1 year of his 15 year career.
When you come back from an injury like that you know the other team is going to hit you there. You just have to be ready. To some extnet you can't control what happens, you jsut rehab and hope it works out.
Most impressive thing is he did it with Christian Ponder at qb so the D knew he was gonna get the ball
I don't have a ton of historical knowledge in the NFL but I can't really think of a player the same caliber as Peterson. He fully believed he was gonna break a big run every time he touched the ball, and so did I!
He's the only back of that generation that I would put ahead of beast mode.
AD is so damn good
Eric Dickerson's record was Oj's record. Oj's record was Jim Brown's record. There you go!
When are you watching Boise St. vs Oklahoma? Adrian Peterson was Oklahoma’s RB in that game.
Adrian Peterso AKA All Day power and speed in a Terminators body lol.
Jerome Bettis is my favorite runninback, The Bus. He was... unusually built.
I was watching some old footage of Jim Brown and I thought I was watching Adrian Peterson 😮
You guys are doing a great job. Other RBd to check out: Gale Sayers, Jim Brown, Larry Csonka, Jerome Bettis, Jon Riggins, Eric Dickerson, Mike Alstott
Adrian Peterson holds the record for the oldest player to break 20mph and longest rush for a RB over 30, in the NFL a 30 year old RB might as well be a 90 year old most Rbs have almost no cartilage left in their knees after their playing careers
8:29 his last college play before going into the nfl he broke his collar bone
WHEN I SEEN HIM RUN DAT BALL.
AP was so explosive he was shot out of a cannon he was the best I’ve ever seen post 2000.
The top 4 NFL running backs are (in no particular order): Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith. If I had to add a 5th to the top tier it would be Adrian Peterson.
You guys NEED to watch the A-train Mike alstott, he was the most powerful runner of the football all time he would frequently run straight through the chest of 2 or 3 dudes on the same play
Showboating is just fine in my book if you can back it up with your game. AP was an absolute BEAST.
You guys like running backs. Check out Mike Alstott. Dude was a beast for Tampa Bay. Built like a linebacker. Speed of a running back. Fought for every yard. He is the definition of trucking guys over
I never watch the Vikings, but when he came back I had to. I had told my family and friends that he was done and couldn't possibly be as good as he was before the injury. He was better. My friends and myself were watching to see if he could break the record, and everyone in the room was like "Let him get those 9 yards! Go for it!" The playoffs mattered more though and AP didn't seem to mind coming up 9 yards short.
He was so good!
