Withstanding all odds, he fought his way back to fitness and was even titled the sixth fastest player to run for 8000 rushing yards. Ever since his injury, he has been on a success spree and is presently the third player to cross 10,000 rushing yards in all of American NFL history. In 2014, he was suspended for causing a negligent injury to hisson, but the following year, he was reinstated to the Vikings.
