There is arguably no team in the NFL more connected to the running back position than the Dallas Cowboys.
Obviously other squads have had elite runners and there are great ball-carriers in today’s game that play for teams who do not operate out of The Star in Frisco. But the Cowboys are the team with an All-Time Leading Rusher banner hanging inside of their stadium and are also the team who drafted a running back fourth overall and gave that running back a second contract all over the last seven years.
But times change. This offseason the Cowboys released Ezekiel Elliott, while placing the franchise tag on Tony Pollard for what it is worth, signaling even a moderate change in disposition.
