Running back Adrian Peterson devoured most of the workload last season, leaving few scraps for backups Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata.
While rushing for an NFL-best 1,485 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2015, Peterson didn’t just lead the league in carries. His 327 carries were 49 more than the next guy, Doug Martin. And he was the first 30-something since Thomas Jones in 2009 to get more than 300 carries in a season.
Should we expect Peterson to hog the ball again in 2016?
“I think he can still handle the same role he’s had,” coach Mike Zimmer said last week.
