Adrian Peterson is near the end of the road when it comes to his NFL career. Last year, he started the season as a member of the New Orleans Saints, but he was traded to the Arizona Cardinals in October for a conditional sixth-round pick. Peterson only played in six games for Arizona before being released by the team back in March. So he knows he's not the same player he was a few years ago, but he feels like he can be a key contributor for a team this upcoming season. The former MVP was recently on ESPN Friday afternoon and he was asked which teams does he see himself playing for in 2018 and the Packers were one of the few teams he mentioned.

"Green Bay wouldn't be a bad look," Peterson said. "They're some options out there. You see around the league they have a two-back system. Guys are not pounding the ball 20-30 times a game. I think that leaves the door open for a couple of opportunities for me."

Peterson still has the ability to be a contributor to a team. But when it comes to the Packers, he could be put in the same situation he was when he joined the Saints. Peterson was playing behind Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara which led to him being traded. The Packers already have three running backs who can make plays - Ty Montgomery, Jamaal Williams and Aaron Jones. Last year Williams led the team in rushing with 556 yards while Jones led the team in yards per carry with 5.5. Montgomery missed half the season with injured ribs and an injured wrist, but he was able to earn the starting RB role at the start of the season after rushing for 457 yards on 77 carries in 2016.

Peterson played in a total of 10 games in 2017. In his four games with the Saints, Peterson recorded 81 yards on 27 carries with no touchdowns. In his six games with the Cardinals, the three-time rushing yards leader posted 448 yards and 129 carries with two scores. He finished with a Pro Football Focus score of 44.8 which ranked 57th among all running backs last year.

The last time Peterson rushed for over 1,000 yards was in 2015 when he registered 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns and it was the last time he led the NFL in rushing. In 2016, Peterson only played in three games because he suffered a knee injury and was placed on injured reserve. Once the season was over, the Vikings announced they would not exercise Peterson's 2017 option on his contract which made him a free agent.

No matter what happens to Peterson this season, he will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He's 12th on the all-time rushing yards list and he only needs one more touchdown to have 100 in his career. He has been named to Pro Bowl and the All-Pro team seven times and he holds the NFL record for rushing yards on a single game (296).
