startribune.com Reports:
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 1,341 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2007, earning
Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. He capped his season by winning the Pro Bowl MVP trophy. So what
can Peterson do to top that?
How about becoming the NFL MVP?
“I definitely feel like I can do it,” Peterson said Thursday. “Anything is possible. Especially how my mindset
is. I set my bar high. I expect a lot from myself. I’m surrounded by a great group of guys offensively and
defensively on both sides, special teams, so it’s possible for anything to happen.”
Peterson said last February at the Pro Bowl that his goal is to rush for 2,000 yards in 2008 and he didn’t
back off from that statement Thursday. “It’s something I stay consistent with,” he said. “I’d be cheating
myself if I kind of set it lower. But 2,000 yards, that’s my goal. I’m just going to work hard to give myself an
opportunity to reach that goal.”
