Best NFL Running Backs of 2012

The Top Ten
1 Adrian Peterson Adrian Lewis Peterson is an American football running back who originally played for the Minnesota Vikings and currently plays for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League.

This is so obvious. Coming off of a near record-breaking season with hgiher yards per carry than the record breaking season. Arguably the best season any running back has ever had. The fact that he is not automatically number one does not make any sense.

You gotta give ap credit. I mean he wass better than every running back this season and he cam out of a torn acl. I mean that's immpressive

2,000 yards and he is number 6 what Is up with this eject keep skewed keen skier

I think A.P. shold be #1 he has the most yards in the nfl and he also is coming off an injury.

Best running back. Only player with 2000 yards from scrimmage and a good man off the field as well

This Baltimore Raven has made it to the super bowl. I mean he really deserves this a lot.

#1 if you don't think so well you simply suck as a person

Ray rice is the best running back in the NFL.

5 Maurice Jones-Drew
6 LeSean McCoy LeSean Kamel McCoy also known as "Shady" is an American football running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League.

Lessen McCoy is definitely the best he awesome go EAGLES!

7 Matt Forte Matthew Garrett Forte is an American football running back for the New York Jets in the National Football League.

He lead in receving and rushing plus he got injured. He broke tackles and always came through in the clutch.

He previously played for the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks, winning one Super Bowl in Seattle. Lynch initially retired from professional football in 2016, but returned in 2017 to play for the Raiders.

Are you kidding me? Lasean Mcoy didn't even break 1000 yards. Lynch was third in the league with 1,613, second only to Peterson and Alfred Morris. Somehow Morris also did not make this list.
