The Dallas Cowboys have been lacking a football player with breakaway speed since the departure of Lance Dunbar following the 2016 regular season. Incidentally, the Cowboys went 13-3 that season and clinched home-field advantage for the NFC playoffs.
It’s a fact that speed brings an impact to the game of football that allows just a single player to make a huge impact on a contest that involves 22 different players at any given time. Whether it be a wide receiver, a running back, a punt returner or kickoff returner, a player that has speed changes the game – the only question is exactly how much.
