Citing a source, ESPN.com’s Ben Goessling reported Peterson’s probation was terminated at an earlier date because he “fulfilled all his requirements”. In an interview with the Star Tribune, Peterson said he’s already a “no-brainer” Hall of Fame player.

Peterson heads into the 2015 season 28th on the NFL’s all-time rushing list with 10,190 yards, 8,165 yards shy of tying Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith’s career record.

The probation stems from Peterson’s child abuse case. Peterson said he laments what he believes was a focus on negative stories about him in the wake of his indictment, and he is aware he could do more to market himself by publicizing his charity work. The AD Elite girls’ basketball team he sponsors in Austin, Texas, helped send 22 players to college over the past three years. “I’ve just got to do what I’ve been doing”.
