Dallas Cowboys: Why adding Adrian Peterson makes sense

The Dallas Cowboys currently possess the best running back in the NFL in their offensive backfield. The Cowboys used the fourth overall selection in last year’s NFL Draft to secure him. That player of course being former Ohio State Buckeye Ezekiel Elliott.

The Pro Bowl rookie runner led the league in both rushing yardage (1,631) and carries (322) last season. Elliott’s initial success is due in large part to the talented offensive line that blocks for him. Made up of three perennial Pro Bowlers itself, the Cowboys O-line is also viewed by many as the best in the NFL.
