While Ezekiel Elliott may be the penciled starter, Dallas could very well have another breakout runner currently on the roster
Who else remembers the last time the Dallas Cowboys entered a season with uncertainties about their backfield?
Over the years, Dallas has seen plenty of success and breakout stars running the football, with names like Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, and league-leading rushers such as DeMarco Murray and Ezekiel Elliott. The 2024 version of the Dallas Cowboys saw last year's starter, Tony Pollard, sign with the Tennessee Titans in free agency. The team will now feature the return of Ezekiel Elliott, who spent the first seven years of his career in Dallas and was in New England last season.Dowdle is gearing up for his 5th season with the Cowboys after re-signing with the team in free agency.
As Elliott turns 29 and experiences a decline in production, being signed to just a one-year deal, the 26-year-old Dowdle could seize the opportunity and take advantage of more reps. The future of the backfield remains up for grabs, making it an opportune time for the former UDFA out of South Carolina to step up.
