Obviously, we’ll have to wait more than a dozen years to see if Axyl turns professional like Adrian Peterson. But you can’t teach all-world athleticism at that age, so Axyl is already off to a good start in the quest to become a second-generation NFL player.
Peterson retired with 14,918 yards and 120 touchdowns over his 15 NFL seasons.
