From ESPN: Adrian Peterson called it a blessing in disguise.
Strange way to describe a career-threatening major knee surgery.
The Minnesota Vikings' star came back better than ever, just missing Eric Dickerson's longstanding rushing record and closing out the season with two of the top NFL awards from The Associated Press: Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year.
As sort of an added bonus, he beat Peyton Manning for both of them Saturday night.
"My career could have easily been over, just like that," the sensational running back said. "Oh man. The things I've been through throughout my lifetime has made me mentally tough. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8908775/nfl-awards-2012-13-adrian-peterson-beats-peyton-manning-win-mvp
Peterson came off a season in which last season he tore his knee apart and then came back and almost got the single season rushing mark, within 9 yards.
He deserves it much more than Peyton Manning.
