RB Adrian Peterson fell the the Minnesota Vikings at the seventh overall pick and in drafting him, the Vikings may have picked up the best franchise RB ever to wear the purple and gold.

Last season made a lot of Vikings fans more interested in Red Sox tickets than Vikings tickets. Peterson should eventually cure that ill.
