Cowboys Tout Ronald Jones as Viable
Ezekiel Elliott Replacement
https://heavy.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/ronald-jones-touted-ezekiel-elliott-replacement/

.... the Cowboys see Jones being a contributor
behind Tony Pollard, with some additional up-
side at just 25 years old.

“He’s an NFL quality back,” Cowboys’ vice pres-
ident of player personnel Will McClay said. “His
run style fits what we do. He’s young enough to
continue to grow and add something to us. ...

.... And, again, we’re adding an experienced back
that knows what it’s like in the NFL, that fits the
system well, and he’s got some upside to be able
to be a 3-down back and some of those things.”

.... Cowboys Haven’t Shut Door
on Ezekiel Elliott

.... Cowboys Build RB Depth With
Deuce Vaughn

.... “I think Deuce can be a matchup nightmare out
of the backfield,” Hall of Fame running back La-
Dainian Tomlinson said on NFL Total Access. “A
lot of people are comparing him to Darren Sproles,
who was one of the best ever out of the backfield
running routes, creating mismatches. I see Deuce
Vaughn in the same light.”
