The Landry Hat interviews Dallas Cowboys’ running back, Tony Pollard
When the Dallas Cowboys selected Memphis running back Tony Pollard in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, it was to be a change of pace, complementary runner to their three-time Pro Bowler, Ezekiel Elliott. But with Elliott struggling with a calf injury on Sunday, it was Pollard who was asked to start against the San Francisco 49ers.
And following his performance, which included recording 132 yards of total offense, the second-year runner has proven he can be more than just a complementary backup to Zeke in Dallas.
