"Williams was the engine of the Cowboys' rushing attack last year, outperforming his one-year, $3 million prove-it deal. He exceeded everyone's expectations by racking up over 1,200 rushing yards and scoring 13 total touchdowns. He took defenders for a ride so often that many of them left him an Uber review. This fifth-year veteran earned a five-star rating in the eyes of fans and put to rest any doubts that the knee injury suffered early in his career would have a lingering effect."
"Williams was the workhorse out of the backfield, doing a little bit of everything. He was good at pass protection and could jump out and help as a receiver. Whatever was needed, he obliged, whether it was breaking off long runs or finishing off drives deep into their opponents' territory. Williams' yards after contact and goal-line success rate were near the tops of the league this past season."
"Rookie running back Jaydon Blue was expected to join Williams and be a part of the team's rushing attack last season, but things did not go according to plan. Blue was a massive disappointment, rushing for a meager 129 yards on 38 attempts, and most of that came in the regular-season finale when Williams was nursing an injury."
The Cowboys face an urgent running back decision as Dak Prescott's prime years are limited and immediate production is required. Javonte Williams delivered over 1,200 rushing yards, 13 total touchdowns, high yards-after-contact, strong goal-line efficiency, dependable pass protection, and receiving contributions. Offensive line coaching hires also supported the rushing revival. Rookie Jaydon Blue failed to provide a reliable complement, totaling just 129 yards on 38 carries. The front office must decide between paying a proven veteran to maintain the rushing momentum or choosing a lower-cost option that could risk offensive decline.
