The Dallas Cowboys figure to field one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL this upcoming season with a healthy quarterback in Dak Prescott under center. But could the real resurgence of America’s Team actually come from its veteran running back?

Last season was a down season for fifth-year running back Ezekiel Elliott. The former first-rounder posted a career-low 979 rushing yards while averaging a lowly 65.3 yards on the ground per game. Zeke also tied a career-high in turnovers with six fumbles and dropped a whopping eight passes.
