It's not a mystery that the Dallas Cowboys have one of the best rushing attacks in football, thanks to their clear first-string running back, Javonte Williams, who's third in rushing at the end of Week 5. It's easy to highlight Williams' resurrection, but one of his lead blockers deserves some love as well.

Hunter Luepke's Cowboys' tenure was shortly on life support over the summer thanks to a crowded running back room. Nobody would've predicted Luepke to be having some of the best days of his NFL career. His blocking in the backfield has been key to Williams being in the position he's in now.
