Top 5 running back prospects for Cowboys in 2025 NFL draft

Cowboys Wire

The Dallas Cowboys have talked the talk about wanting to run the football every offseason since hiring Mike McCarthy as their head coach. And every year they leave their quarterback Dak Prescott to throw for 4,500 yards and 35 touchdowns, or get injured trying to. In 2023, Dallas took a defensive lineman in the first round of the draft and didn't take a running back until the sixth, where they selected feel-good story Deuce Vaughn. Last year, they didn't even draft one, leaving undrafted free agent Rico Dowdle to be the primary back with past their prime veterans Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook to rotate in for touches.
