Grading the Redskins 2020 free-agent signings: Running backs

Due to injury and age, the Washington Redskins have been thin at running back for quite some time. After the signings of Peyton Barber and J.D. McKissic in free agency, the ‘Skins have bolstered the position to now be one of strength.

The Washington Redskins took running back as a serious need in the 2020 offseason. With Adrian Peterson now coming towards the end of his career and running backs Derrius Guice and Bryce Love both struggling to stay healthy and/or coming off of injury, the Redskins signed two running backs who can fill the void of durability (in Barber’s case), versatility, and pass-catching ability.
