IMO, AP would make a good backup to Derrick Henry in Tennessee.

That's going around.

He’s nothing more than a back up at this point.

averaged 4.3 ypc last year .... 220+ carries

better than many even at his age

and the years before,both with a very bad passing offense.

7-9 games with a YPC well under 4. He had a couple good games that inflated that YPC. I think he was in the 850-900 yard range. Not really impressive for a RB. Redskins also had no choice but to get him the ball as there really was nothing else.

I know what his stats are and 8 games averaging under 4.0 (more than half his games)...7 of which were 3.08 or less is far from average. He had three games where he averaged over 6 and inflated his YPC to make it look respectable. He’s on the downslide. He’d be much more effective as a back up to say...Derrick Henry or Zeke Elliott or Alvin Kamara than a starter.

He’s pretty much the only offensive weapon the Redskins had...lol. Well Scary Terry showed up for a few weeks there...

AP doesn't mesh well with their roster. His almost total non-participation doesn't help them put formations out that maximize whatever it is that Haskins does well. Combine that with even as a 2 down hammer; AP just isn't what he once was. He can still contribute but is far better suited as a short-yardage or goalline veteran complement to a more dynamic RB on a playoff squad...

Agree 100%. I think he'd be perfect in a back up role to Henry in Tennessee.

If you put him on a good running team, he still has gas in the tank. He just can't carry a bad offense.

[Mojouw]

Can't figure out how to quote multiple posts on my phone. But the last two posts nailed it. AP will be on a team and provide a positive contribution. He could get 3.5 yards a carry into his 60s.

I forgot about the Lions (easy to do). That may be a decent landing spot for him. May be able to help out D’Andre Swift.

Whatever happened to Kerryon Johnson? At one point he looked like the next big thing at RB and then the Lions seem set on anyone but him.

The current OC of the Lions were the OC of the Vikings for a few years when Peterson(and Brett Favre)were in Minnesota...Maybe this is one of the reason why Peterson is now with the lions.

I think he’s still in Detroit. Not sure what happened to him as far as talent goes.

Second coming of Barry Sanders!
