"Coming into the 2025 regular season, running back was arguably one of the Cowboys' weakest position groups. After letting Rico Dowdle leave in free agency, Dallas did not have a proven commodity set to replace the 1,000-yard rusher. Desperate to find someone to fill the starting running back role, the Cowboys took a chance on Javonte Williams, hoping the former Bronco still had some juice left in the tank."
"In 16 games, Williams finished in the top 12 in the league in rushing yards (1,201), rushing touchdowns (11), Y/A (4.8), and PFF rush grade (81.7). Williams also posted career-highs in first downs rushing (67) and 10+ yard runs (26), looking even better than he did during his impressive rookie year back in 2021. All in all, Williams had about as good a 2025 campaign as you could have imagined."
Javontae Williams became the Cowboys' lead back in 2025, appearing in 16 games with 252 rushing attempts for 1,201 yards and a 4.8 yards-per-carry average. He recorded 67 rushing first downs, a 56.3% success rate, and 13 total touchdowns while earning an 81.7 PFF rushing grade and finishing among the league's top 12 in multiple categories. Williams posted career highs in first downs and 10+ yard runs (26), showing improvement over his 2021 rookie season. At 25 years old, Williams will enter free agency amid a crowded running-back market that could influence his contract.
