WATCH: Adrian Peterson with first TD as a member of the Cardinals

Adrian Peterson makes his debut with the Cardinals

It didn’t take future Hall of Fame running back Adrian Peterson too long to make his presence known for the Arizona Cardinals in his debut with the team.

In Arizona’s first possession of the game, Peterson went for 54 yards on four rush attempts. That included this amazing 27-yard touchdown to put the Cardinals up early against Tampa Bay.

Notice just how elite Peterson’s vision was on this touchdown run? This is what has made him one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. He’s also a huge addition to the Cardinals’ offense after the injury to David Johnson.

To put into perspective how anemic Arizona’s rushing attack was prior to Peterson’s arrival, it was averaging 51.8 yards on the ground per game. Peterson himself topped that on just four rush attempts.

Peterson was acquired from New Orleans for a conditional late-round pick last week. He’s obviously excited about finding a new home. That showed itself in a big way early on Sunday against the Buccaneers.
