It was clear that the Dallas Cowboys needed help in the running back room once Tony Pollard wasn't on the roster anymore. Many believed Dallas would emphasize the position in the NFL draft since they aren't big players in free agency. However, the Cowboys didn't pick one up, and instead, they brought back veteran Ezekiel Elliott just days after the draft.
The days of Elliott being a force as a runner are long gone. These days, he is expected to specialize in converting short third-down situations and in the red zone where he has shown a nose for scoring.
