It been a long time since the Dallas Cowboys have had to deal with the possibility of the dreaded sophomore slump. The sophomore slump explains the drop in performance of a sensational rookie player in his second season. Last season our rookies: quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott introduced themselves to the league.
Their success was a perfect storm created by many factors. Love it or not, we received Elliott by earning the fourth pick in the 2016 NFL Draft after winning just four games in 2015. Those four wins also earned us a last place schedule.
