Adrian Peterson should have a role in the Redskins offense, per offensive coordinator Scott Turner.

The Washington Redskins have no shortage of options at the running back position this offseason. The team has emphasized adding depth and competition to their roster, and running back is one area where they invested in NFL-caliber players.

In terms of young talent, the Redskins have 2018 second-round pick Derrius Guice, 2019 fourth-round pick Bryce Love, and 2020 third-round pick Antonio Gibson on the roster.
