ASHBURN, Va. -- The film and stats told one story last season. The Washington Redskins and Adrian Peterson hope his workout Monday tells another.
That workout was a primary reason why the Redskins signed him, wanting him to compete for the starting job with Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine to be their every-down back. Peterson might be around for only a couple of weeks; he might last a lot longer. It depends on how he looks as well as on the health of the other backs.
But Peterson is 33 and coming off a season in which he failed to make an impact with New Orleans, then was traded to Arizona.
