Minnesota Vikings' halfback Adrian Peterson won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award, it was announced on Wednesday.
Peterson finished second in the NFL in rushing yards, compiling 1,341. The 22-year old back may very well have led the league in that category had he not missed two games in the middle of the season due to a torn lateral collateral ligament he suffered at Green Bay on Nov. 11th. Only LaDainian Tomlinson had more yards on the ground.
Peterson also set the record for most rushing yards in a single game, totaling 296 against San Diego on Nov. 4th. Not only that, but he went for 224 three weeks earlier in Chicago.
