The running back position for the Dallas Cowboys has undergone major construction after the release of seven-year veteran Ezekiel Elliott. The team is temporarily leasing the services of Tony Pollard as they placed the franchise tag on him after his rookie contract expired. It’s unclear what the future holds with Pollard in terms of whether or not the Cowboys will re-up him long-term, or just move on from him after the 2023 season.
With a running back-heavy draft class, many expected the team to find answers in the form of a fresh-legged rookie running back. And while they may have not taken one as earlier as we thought, they still came away with Kansas State star running back, Deuce Vaughn.
