Top 25 NFL mustaches of all time
By John Buhler
21. Adrian Peterson
When Adrian Peterson was just running over dudes for the Minnesota Vikings, did you ever stop and think if the dude had a mustache? Unless you freeze/live in the Twin Cities, the notion of Peterson’s subtle, but well-kept facial never crossed your mind.
He may have done some questionable things off the field and hasn’t really come to grips that he is on the decline as a professional, but how can you hate a guy with such a nicely kept mustache and goatee combo? Peterson better tip his barber regularly because the facial hair craftsmanship definitely improves the dude’s overall likability.
It’s one of those mustaches that gives off the calm, brooding look while simultaneously one where he’s really reaching for how to do Magnum again in the back of his brain. We get it. Peterson is really, really, really ridiculous good-looking.
He will play his first season away from the Twin Cities as a member of the New Orleans Saints. Peterson will split time with Mark Ingram Jr. in the Saints backfield. While we will have literally no idea if Peterson has anything left in the tank, we do know that he’ll have that ‘stache/goatee combo on point, assuming he finds the right barber in the French Quarter.
