NEP: 42.92

As we get down to the sort-of second tier of production, the historically great talent level doesn't diminish. In fact, as it pertains to raw production, not many can rival Adrian Peterson and his 2012 season with the Minnesota Vikings.

In his sixth season, AP ran for a ridiculous 2,097 yards and 6.0 yards per attempt. The former ranks second all-time among rushers while Peterson's yards per attempt and 12 rushing touchdowns ranked second and third, respectively, on the year.
