3 running backs the Cowboys should draft to replace Ezekiel Elliott
By lconlon
2. Jahmyr Gibbs, Alabama
Jahmyr Gibbs was a former Georiga Tech student who transferred to the Crimson Tide for his Junior season. He is an explosive athlete who averaged 6.1 YPC this past season, sharing similar traits to current star running backs in the league.
The traits that Gibbs posses differ from those of Bijan, being known as a twitchy RB with the ability to break for big runs at any point. He is also a phenomenal receiving threat that has good balance for his size.
He shares similar traits to Pollard in that sense, and the one-two punch that they would create could pay dividends in the running and passing game. Also, Jahmyr is not viewed as a first-round pick, and if we were to miss out on Robinson we could use a later pick to scoop him up.
However, something to look out for with Gibb’s is a small frame, coming in at 5-foot-11 on ESPN. Although, he does look a little bigger than 5-foot-11 on film, it is still something to keep an eye on if you are Dallas.
