Despite signing veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders during the early days of free agency, the Dallas Cowboys always had plans to go looking for a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft.
As such, America's Team worked out several potential candidates leading into late April's festivities in Green Bay, including Damien Martinez, a bruiser-type back who stood out with both Oregon State and the Miami Hurricanes during his three-year collegiate career, ultimately rushing for 3,169 yards and 26 touchdowns between the two programs, while averaging an impressive 6.2 yards per carry.
At 6-foot-1 and 217 pounds, Martinez undoubtedly fit the mold of the powerful back the Cowboys were looking to add.
