Peterson ranked No. 4

Adrian Peterson’s peers believe he is the fourth-best player in the NFL.

Peterson’s 2,097 yards in 2012, the year he was named NFL MVP, garnered him even more respect from his peers, fueling him to the top spot in NFL Network’s rankings last year.

Fox Sports North used the highest running back ranking for Peterson as ammunition to, in a way, finish off the offseason debate about who the better back is: Peterson or LeSean McCoy of the Eagles.

It turns out NFL players agree with Adrian Peterson more than LeSean McCoy when it comes to who is the best running back in the NFL.
