Legendary future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson stated that he's enjoyed his first year with the Detroit Lions, and could see himself returning next season.
But while the future remains to be sorted out, he continues to have an impact on the field.
Peterson imposed his will on the Minnesota Vikings this afternoon, whom he racked up big numbers with earlier in his career. Not long after rattling off his longest run of the season, he powered his way into the end zone – his first career TD against the team he starred for.

In doing so, he became the 6th player in NFL history to rush for a touchdown against 28 different opponents.
Will Peterson be back in Detroit next season?
