BREAKING: Adrian Peterson Elected to College Football Hall of Fame

Quote:Peterson's No. 3 jersey is retired at Georgia Southern and he still stands as the NCAA's Division I all-time leading rusher with 6,559 yards in regular-season contests. He is already a member of GS's Athletics Hall of Fame and was a four-time All-American for the Eagles.

The NCAA is dumb and didn't retroactively count playoff statistics, but AP rushed for over 9,000 yards in his career, but only gets credit for his regular season yardage.

Congrats to an all-time great Eagle!

If you could somehow count his post-season stats (9000+ career rushing yards) yeah, no one would ever top it.

I have to add the obligatory mention that: as many yards as he racked up, he did it while sitting out the second half or parts of the second half of many, many games where we had sizeable leads.

messed up part, is that the ncaa now counts post season stats for players, but won't go back and add his numbers retroactively.

Here's the timestamp of The Run in the full game. While you're there, watch the next few plays to see how AP finishes the drive.

I don't ever remember him sitting out of the App games...

Seriously though, congrats to him, well deserved.

They will because for some reason when they change the rules and adding playoff to records they dont go retroactive. Dumbest thing ever but we all know who has the most on the field for real.

If there ever was a automatic entry this is the guy. Had the pleasure of seeing his entire career while attending GS. No player I have seen at the FCS level has passed him. Some really close like AE but none better. AP was only limited by injuries towards the end.

None lol even if had 300 at the half he would not ever come out of an App game but many games where he was taken out early. His totals could easily be a third higher if left in all the blowouts during his run.

Congrats to AP...he was a stud!

It's amazing he didn't end up with more injuries as much as he ran the ball.

They are pretty dumb. They listed his school as Georgia Southern instead of Oklahoma01-wingedeagle

Joking aside, does being named Adrian Peterson automatically make you a good RB?

Over 110 Touchdowns is insane. Glad he is finally getting his due.
