Gus Johnson was named the 2014 Southland Conference Player of the Year after rushing for 1,683 yards and 23 touchdowns on 256 carries. He's hoping to carry over that success to the NFL and carve out a role in the Cowboys' unsettled backfield.

After two weeks of the training camp grind, the Dallas Cowboys will open the preseason on Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers.

With the Cowboys returning 10-of-11 starters on offense, you shouldn't expect to see too much action from the starting offensive unit on Thursday night.
