10 NFL Offensive Players Expected To Regress in 2014

5. Adrian Peterson

This could be a major swing and a miss by me, but eventually All Day is going to begin to embark on the downswing of his career. Peterson is 29 years old and we all know that the age-30 year is the benchmark for a running back’s decline.

Minnesota is undergoing a transitional year under coach Mike Zimmer, and whether it’s Matt Cassel or Teddy Bridgewater behind center, Peterson will be the main player to key on for opposing defenses.
