When we say Adrian Peterson was an offensive MVP and an NFL legend, it’s not just a proven fact, it’s a major understatement. Seven-time Pro Bowler, four-time First Team All-Pro, three-time NFL rushing yards leader, two-time NFL rushing touchdowns leader, you get it right? The list doesn’t end here. This dude’s got more accolades than most veterans can even dream of. And he didn’t just make a mark on the gridiron; he even tried his feet on Dancing with the Stars. But did he do it all by himself? Or did he have a cheerleader?

If you ever wondered who the queen behind this explosive king is, well, it’s Ashley Brown (Peterson). These two were college sweethearts from Adrian’s days at the University of Oklahoma. They got married in a hush-hush setting way back in 2014. People only found out they’d gotten married when the two showed up to a gala, wearing rings and big, happy smiles. But who is she?
