No NFL team has been worse at running the ball this season than the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys. No player has been better at running in college football than Boise State\u2019s Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty just so happened to have played high school football at Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas, just north of Dallas and Arlington.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cDallas Cowboys, I\u2019m not saying they\u2019re not a good fit,\u201d Jeanty said\u00a0on a livestream. \u201cI\u2019m not saying that at all. And I\u2019m from Frisco, played in their practice stadium, I would be a hometown hero if I went there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Boise State running back was asked a multitude of questions by fans on his livestream, such as who he\u2019d like to play for in the NFL. He mentioned the Chicago Bears and it being \u201ctoo cold\u201d and also mentioned being a \u201cSuper Bowl contender every year\u201d with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Dallas Cowboys were the third and final team he mentioned in the video clip.<\/p>\n

The fit between Jeanty and Dallas could be perfect for next season\u2019s NFL Draft. The Cowboys\u2019 77.2 yards per game and 3.5 yards per carry are the lowest in the NFL, and they\u2019re also tied for last with two rushing touchdowns. Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott aren\u2019t starting-caliber running backs, and it\u2019s affected the Cowboys\u2019 offense. They average 21 points a game (20th in NFL), a massive drop from last season\u2019s 29.9.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Drafting Jeanty would immediately help those run game issues. He leads the nation in rushing yards (1,248), touchdowns (17) and yards per carry (9.9). The Heisman frontrunner has rushed for at least 127 yards in every game, and that season-low came on 11 carries in a blowout win over Portland State. He\u2019s an explosive runner that possesses power at 5-foot-9, 215-pounds. He also has 66 receptions for six touchdowns in his three seasons as Boise State.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s latest mock draft had Dallas drafting Jeanty 15th overall. It\u2019s been almost a decade since the Cowboys took Ezekiel Elliott fourth overall, so they\u2019re not afraid of using first-round picks for a position that has been drastically devalued.\u00a0Offensive line struggles\u00a0have been an important piece of why Dallas is struggling on the ground, and it wouldn\u2019t be shocking if the Cowboys drafted a lineman in the first round for a second straight year.<\/p>\n

Jeanty is on pace for yard and touchdown marks that no college running back has accomplished since Barry Sanders in the late 1980s. The running back position is viewed as accessory in the current NFL, but Jeanty clearly has the skillset to elevate \u2014 and at times carry \u2014 an offense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
