The Cardinals acquired future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson on Tuesday. It’s not difficult to see why Arizona general manager, Steve Keim, decided to pursue Peterson. After David Johnson’s injury, the combination of Kerwynn Williams and Chris Johnson averaged a lousy 2.3 yards per attempt combined.
The question is does Peterson have anything left? It’s no secret that running backs age quicker than other positions, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that Peterson’s production has been dwindling. It’s also not ground breaking to suggest that the Vikings offensive line during Peterson’s final years was unsatisfactory.
