We have no idea if Peterson can dance, but the fact that he’ll be on the show is a good indication that he has some skills on the floor. He certainly has a history of delivering some epic performances, including his MVP season in 2012 and riding into his 30th birthday party on a camel.
Peterson is regarded as one of the greatest running backs in the history of the NFL, running for 11,747 yards and 97 touchdowns over 10 seasons with the Vikings. His greatest season came in 2012 as he ran for 2,097 yards and 12 touchdowns. A non-quarterback hasn't won the MVP award since.
Peterson is also a four-team All-Pro selection, three-time rushing champion and led the NFL in rushing touchdowns twice.
Peterson has not played in the NFL since stints with the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks during the 2021 season, and is set to turn 39 next March.
