Quote:Sure he will. You can be a "three down" back and still give some carries to others in certain situations. McCoy was an every down back in Philly and they still have carries to Sproles-esque. This isn't the 80's. There's plenty of usage for a change of pace or pass catching back in a system designed around a main RB.


I believe you're also confused between "committee" and "change of pace"

 

I know "committee" usually means what the Falcons are doing with Freeman and Coleman. My thought was the Vikings never take Peterson (Fournette's NFL comparison) off the field for a change of pace and he would go to a team that does not emphasize what Yeldon does on offense. If a team is desperate enough to take the best RB in the draft, they just want a guy who can run three yards and a cloud of dust.
