A reshuffle of the rear field took place for the Dallas cowboys during the offseason. The team added two players with a starting experience, which was struck for the races of the first team in the training camp from this week.
While Dallas heads for his first training camp session on Tuesday, a team of initiates discussed the state of the rear field and projected the starter of the day to the position. While the consensus could say that the former rusher of Denver Broncos Javonte Williams is in the driver’s seat based on Minicamp, Dallas Insider Tommy Yarrish predicts Miles Sanders.
“I think of all the backs of the play, he has the most juice and the best chance of having a new start after Sanders fought in his two seasons with the panthers,” wrote Yarrish.
“It is difficult to say, given what we have seen in the practices without pads, which goes up to the top in the back living room, and will probably be a better question to monitor the training camp, but in shorts, Sanders looks a little more explosive compared to the rest of the group.”
Earlier in his career, Sanders was one of the most notable runners in the league. Leaving Penn State, Sanders was a selection of draft in the second round for the Eagles of Philadelphia. Therefore, the cowboys had the chance to know Sanders well on the other side of the ball.

During the recruit season of Sanders, he was not a full -time leaving but had many opportunities to prove that he was a double threat. He took 179 races for 818 yards and three affected in 16 games. He captured 50 passes for 509 yards and marked three times.
In the second year, Sanders was a full -time starter for Eagles. He exceeded 750 yards in each of his next two years before making a year of career in 2022.
Sanders was of major help for the Eagles in the middle of their Super Bowl 2022 race. In 17 games, the young veteran won 259 races for 1,269 yards and 11 affected. It was the first time in Sanders’ career, he exceeded 200 races during a season.
After the defeat of the Eagles 38-35 in the Super Bowl LVII, Sanders became a free agent for the first time in his career. With his soaring shares, he won a four -year contract worth more than $ 25 million in the free agency. Once he joined the Panthers of Caroline, Sanders had trouble being up to his contract.
The first year in Caroline included a season of 432 yards on the field. He followed this campaign with 205 yards on 55 races in 11 games in 2024. Unsurprisingly, the Panthers separated from Sanders at the start of the offseason. A few days later, the cowboys picked it up on a one-year case, prove.
Sanders will be in a pre-season / camp battle with former Denver Broncos, Javonte Williams. During four seasons, Williams appeared in 54 games. It has an average of 600 yards per season in Denver. Last year, Williams rushed to 513 yards and four affected.
Cowboys can take several paths to be creative with their situation in the back field next season. Although resuming a feature between Sanders and Williams is certainly an option. The same goes to use them as a committee. If these options fail, Dallas could be commercial market players.
