Why Cowboys should increase Tony Pollard’s workload significantly in 2021

Playing second fiddle is something Tony Pollard should be used to by now. In his three years with the Memphis Tigers, and two years with the Dallas Cowboys, he’s never been more than a backup, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking advantage of his opportunities. Every time he touches the ball he seems to do something exceptional and because of that the Cowboys would be wise to increase his workload significantly in 2021.

Tony Pollard is a unique player with the versatility to play a variety of roles with the Cowboys moving forward. Unfortunately, he’s been left to feed off whatever scraps are left over playing behind one of the highest-paid running backs in the league, Ezekiel Elliott, but with the way Dallas’ offense is constructed right now his time to shine could be coming.
