Daunte Culpepper News

The Vikings' Adrian Peterson, who overcame major knee surgery to become an MVP last season, has narrowly avoided an even greater obstacle standing in his way in 2013.

Culpepper was a standout with the Minnesota Vikings before a devastating knee injury in 2005 derailed his career.

According to the South Florida Business Journal , a bank filed a foreclosure lawsuit last month against Culpepper , alleging that he has not been making payments on a $2.93 million mortgage he took out in 2006.

In 2009, Matt Stafford stood on the stage at Radio City Music Hall during the NFL draft, a Lions cap on his head and a jersey in his hand, ready to take on the world and change the fortunes of this long-suffering franchise.
