Rico Dowdle ran for more than 1,000 yards as the lead back with the Cowboys last season, but he’s set for a different role in 2025.
Dowdle signed with the Panthers this month and Carolina has Chuba Hubbard back after he ran for a career-high 1,195 yards for the team. That sets Dowdle up for more of a complementary role, but the fact that Dowdle is from the area helped make up for any misgivings about the move.
Dowdle called it “so intriguing” to play back home and he also highlighted the impact two capable backs can have on an offense.
