When Tony Pollard was drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the belief was that he could provide a change of pace counterpunch to star Ezekiel Elliott out of the backfield. The results, however, were a mixed bag throughout his first two seasons.
In 33 career games, Pollard has done most of his damage on the ground, totaling 203 carries for 1,013 yards (five YPC) and seven touchdowns. What makes Pollard special as a talent, however, is his ability to operate in open space, where he’s hauled in another 43 receptions to the tune of 300 yards and two more scores.
