To say the Cowboys running back room in 2025 will look a lot different is an understatement. With Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle no longer with the team, Deuce Vaughn and Malik Davis are the only familiar faces still in Dallas (with Hunter Luepke at fullback). The Cowboys were active early in free agency after making Javonte Williams their first signing of the 2025 free agency period.
Williams, just 24 years old, is looking for a fresh start in Dallas, after starting off his career hot in Denver. Williams looked the part in his rookie season, but after an ACL tear four games into his sophomore campaign in 2022, Williams has struggled to get back to his form that had him drafted 35th overall in the 2021 NFL draft.
