back">running back</a> who played fifteen seasons in the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a> (NFL). He is widely considered to be one of the greatest running backs in football history. He played <a href="/wiki/College_football" title="College football">college football</a> for the <a href="/wiki/Oklahoma_Sooners_football" title="Oklahoma Sooners football">Oklahoma Sooners</a>, setting the freshman rushing record with 1,925 yards in 2004. Named a <a href="/wiki/List_of_unanimous_All-Americans_in_college_football" title="List of unanimous All-Americans in college football">unanimous All-American</a> that year, he became the first freshman to finish as a runner-up in the <a href="/wiki/Heisman_Trophy" title="Heisman Trophy">Heisman Trophy</a> balloting. Peterson finished his college career as the Sooners' third all-time leading rusher. He was selected by the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Vikings" title="Minnesota Vikings">Minnesota Vikings</a> seventh overall in the <a href="/wiki/2007_NFL_draft" title="2007 NFL draft">2007 NFL draft</a>. As a rookie, he set an NFL record for the most rushing yards in a single game (296) and was named <a href="/wiki/NFL_Offensive_Rookie_of_the_Year" class="mw-redirect" title="NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year">NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year</a>. He was then named the MVP for his performance in the <a href="/wiki/Pro_Bowl" title="Pro Bowl">Pro Bowl</a> and became only the fifth player in NFL history to have more than 3,000 yards through his first two seasons. In 2010, he became the fifth-fastest player to run for 5,000 yards, doing so in his 51st game. Peterson tore both his <a href="/wiki/Anterior_cruciate_ligament" title="Anterior cruciate ligament">ACL</a> and <a href="/wiki/Medial_collateral_ligament" title="Medial collateral ligament">MCL</a> in a game in late 2011. Despite that, he would return by the start of the 2012 season and end it with 2,097 rushing yards, just nine yards shy of breaking <a href="/wiki/Eric_Dickerson" title="Eric Dickerson">Eric Dickerson</a>'s single-season record. For his efforts, he received the <a href="/wiki/NFL_MVP_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="NFL MVP Award">NFL MVP Award</a>, among others. In 2013, Peterson became the third-fastest <a href="/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_career_rushing_yards_leaders" class="mw-redirect" title="List of National Football League career rushing yards leaders">player to reach 10,000 rushing yards</a> in NFL history. In 2014, Peterson was indicted by a <a href="/wiki/Grand_jury" title="Grand jury">grand jury</a> in Texas on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child that occurred earlier that year, and was suspended for the rest of the season.
