Peterson made the announcement on social media Tuesday:
"#Ajsoars is in Heaven, where he belongs... #ajsoar #P3 #MyFirstSuperHero"
A.J. was diagnosed in June 2014, when he was just 6 years old.
The Peterson family received an outpouring of support through social media, as they publicly documented the young boy's heath struggles.
Peterson was a star running back for Georgia Southern from 1998-2001, and played for the Chicago Bears from 2002-2009. Peterson also had brief stints with the Minnesota Vikings and the Virginia Destroyers.
