Tony Pollard Could See Decent Playing Time

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard, a fourth-round pick, should see decent playing time in his first season.

Rams Could Use More Two-Running Back Sets

After drafting running back Darrell Henderson in the third round with the 70th overall pick, the Los Angeles Rams could use more two-running back sets to help protect Todd Gurley in 2019.

David Montgomery's Presence Could Hurt Tarik Cohen

Chicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery's balance, lateral agility and vision give the team a potential three-down back. Montgomery's greatest strength is running the ball, but the fact that he can also catch the football will help create mismatches against opponents. Montgomery's presence will allow the Bears to use Tarik Cohen more as a […]

Darrell Henderson A Change-Of-Pace Back

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay consider running back Darrell Henderson as a change-of-pace back to Todd Gurley.

LeSean McCoy Still Considered Starter

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that running back LeSean McCoy is still "the starter when we roll the ball out."

Eagles Add Another Running Back

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Penn State running back Miles Sanders with the No. 53 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Sanders is a patient and versatile runner that run inside or bounce outside.

Raiders Take Josh Jacobs With Second First-Round Pick

The Oakland Raiders selected Alabama running back Josh Jacobs with the No. 24 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.

Chris Lindstrom Goes To Falcons 14th Overall

The Atlanta Falcons selected Boston College offensive guard Chris Lindstrom with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.

Jonah Williams Goes To Bengals 11th Overall

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Alabama offensive guard Jonah Williams with the No. 11 pick of the 2019 NFL draft. Williams was a rock on the offensive line for Alabama in his three seasons as the starter.
