Cowboys News: Ezekiel Elliott, Tony Pollard to Be Used as 'Receiver Types'

Dak Prescott will have a lot of options in the Dallas Cowboys' passing attack this season, including a pair of talented running backs.

Owner Jerry Jones explained Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan that Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard will have significant roles catching the ball in 2020.

"Out of the backfield, it should be interesting this year with more use of Pollard and Zeke as receiver types," Jones said, via Patrik Walker of CBS Sports. "We've got that in, and it's gonna be very effective. I'm sure excited about that area."

Elliott had a career-high 77 catches in 2018, leading the team that season when there were few consistent options in the passing attack.
