Football fans are in awe over a viral video of Adrian Peterson’s son putting on an AP-like performance in a youth football game.

The 39-year-old Adrian Peterson played his final NFL season in 2021, spent with the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks. Widely regarded as the best running back of his generation, AP won three rushing titles and took home MVP and Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2012.

Peterson’s playing career may be over, but his eight-year-old son just might follow his footsteps into the pros someday. Footage of his son, Axyl, dominating in youth football has gone viral on social media.

And let’s just say that Axyl has the moves of his father:

Obviously, we’ll have to wait more than a dozen years to see if Axyl turns professional like Adrian Peterson. But you can’t teach all-world athleticism at that age, so Axyl is already off to a good start in the quest to become a second-generation NFL player.

Peterson retired with 14,918 yards and 120 touchdowns over his 15 NFL seasons.

Nick Bosa may have landed himself in hot water with the NFL following his actions after the San Francisco 49ers beat the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

The Niners enjoyed a 30-24 win over Dallas in the ‘SNF’ fixture. Quarterback Brock Purdy had a stellar game, completing 18 of 26 passing attempts for 260 yards and a touchdown while showing some surprising athleticism as a scrambler.

Bosa also had an impressive outing as he made life pretty difficult for the Cowboys offensive line, also making three tackles, a sack, and two QB hits.

After the game, he popped up behind Purdy while the QB was being interviewed and pointed to his “Make America Great Again” hat before running toward the locker room.
