Last Year’s Rank #21.
After going to eight straight Pro Bowls to begin his career, Peterson slipped badly, first suffering a six-game suspension in 2019, and upon his return he wasn’t the same player. He played the full 2020 season, and while he was better, he wasn’t Pro Bowl worthy. Peterson begins 2021 with a change of scenery in Minnesota, and it could be the cure. He is still marginally over the MPA for AV/G, and is on the fringe of the Hall. A comeback year should cement him as a future Hall of Fame inductee.
