ASHBURN, Virginia – A fourth-down play in his Washington Redskins debut featured the best of running back Adrian Peterson – using his vision, quickness and explosion to gain 15 yards around the end. It also included a familiar sight: a fullback leading the way.
During his best days with Minnesota, Peterson often ran behind a fullback. But there’s a chance that scene won’t be repeated often in Washington.
And that’s OK with Peterson. In fact, he repeated a long-stated preference for lining up solo for a simple reason.
