Read a good article about Peterson's chances of catching Emmitt. All Day claims he'll catch Emmitt by seasons end 2017. Not likely but I'll enjoy watching.
The article said something I found most interesting about our man Emmitt.
"Peterson has rushed for 8,849 yards through his age-27 season. Now 28, he trails Smith by 9,506 yards. No one has rushed for more yards after turning 28 than Smith (8,195). Peterson must be far and away the most productive runner ever after age 28 to break the career rushing record"
I think it's assumed that Emmitt ran behind the greatest line in the history of professional football and he may have but it's a shame he doesn't get his just dues. Pure Greatness!
