Former NFL star running back Adrian Peterson, whose illustrious career included stints with the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, and other teams, is making headlines for an unexpected move.
Despite earning over $99 million during his NFL tenure, Peterson’s financial struggles have been widely reported, with his current net worth estimated at a mere $1 million.
The 37-year-old athlete has decided to part ways with some of his most cherished possessions. Peterson is putting his Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, and Offensive Player of the Year trophies up for sale, along with other memorabilia and accolades. The items will be included in a real estate sale in Houston.
