Why the Redskins could keep only three running backs on the roster

This offseason, the Redskins running back room looked stronger than it had in recent seasons. With living legend Adrian Peterson and talented 2018 second-round pick Derrius Guice expected to share the backfield, it looked like the team had a dynamic one-two punch at the position. Even better, the team has receiving back Chris Thompson on the squad as well, and he is one of the better receiving backs in the league when healthy.

Beyond that trio, the team has Samaje Perine, who received praise from Jay Gruden this offseason, and rookie fourth-round pick Bryce Love, who is still recovering from an injury and will likely start the season on the NFI list.
