Adrian Peterson is a once-in-a-generation player that we all want to see play. But running backs don't last forever. Carries take their toll, even on men who look like Peterson.

He's on pace for 334 carries, which would be 29 fewer than his career high of 363 in 2008.

He's also on pace to have 306 more carries than his backup. That would be a career high by far.
