Adrian Peterson finally breaks silence on reports of him selling his NFL trophies in real estate sale in Houston, threatens lawsuit

I want to clarify a recent rumor and media reports that an estate sale company without my authorization included some of my trophies in a sale. Peterson said on X (formerly Twitter).

Adrian Peterson may seek the help of the law to resolve the issue

Petreson’s financial troubles are no secret. As a result, it did not come as a surprise to many that he could sell some of his valuables to recover some money. However, in his words, Peterson isn’t facing any issues with money. 

I want to emphasize that I am financially stable and would never sell off my hard-earned trophies. Continuing further, he added

In light of the development, the Oklahoma alumnus may seek legal advice. He has threatened to take action against the website hibid.com if they don’t take down notifications. 

I did not authorize the sale of any of my [trophies], and I will be taking legal action. We allowed them to go into several of our storage units with clear instructions. They clearly did something unlawful. Peterson added.

After dominating the college football scene with the Sooners, registering 4041 rushing yards in 31 games and scoring 48 touchdowns, Adrian Peterson joined the Minnesota Vikings as the 7th overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. He spent 10 glittering years wearing purple. Afterward, he bounced around on several teams. 

Peterson left the Vikings to sign with the New Orleans Saints, then with the Arizona Cardinals, the Washington Commanders, the Detroit Lions, the Tennessee Titans, and the Seattle Seahawks. His last appearance came in a Seahawks shirt in December 2022. 

However, Peterson hasn’t officially announced his retirement. Not so long ago, he even expressed a desire to return to the NFL, but there haven’t been any further details. So far, he has amassed nearly 15,000 yards and 120 rushing touchdowns.

Peterson is married to model and beauty line founder Ashley Brown, who is the founder and CEO of Elizabella Cosmetics. They are blessed with three children: Adrian Peterson, Jr., Axyl Eugene Peterson, and Abrielle Peterson. He also has five more kids from previous relationships.
