During Saturday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams in Hawaii, Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard ran five times for 42 yards, for an 8.4 yards per carry average. Then, Pollard capped his performance with a go-ahead 14-yard touchdown run.
Since then, there’s been a fair amount of fallout from his impressive performance. According to NFL.com, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones started the ball rolling with his comment immediately after the game. “Zeke who?” he chuckled, referring, of course, to Dallas Cowboys two-time Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott.
