Adrian Peterson, who recently turned 35 years old, is entering a Washington Redskins running back room that’s now seven strong, inhabited by veterans such as Peyton Barber, Josh Ferguson, and J.D. McKissic, young guns such as Derrius Guice and Bryce Love, and rookie hybrid player Antonio Gibson.
There’s no pecking order in the Redskins’ running back room; some players might have more experience, and others might have more long-term potential, but at this point, no one can say with confidence that they’ve run away with the job. Peterson has the resume to back up his case, but at some point, age will catch up with him, and that naturally clouds his outlook.
