Javonte WilliamsRB

Williams was signed to a one-year, $3 million prove-it deal and was talked up as the definitive starter during training camp. He is the most compelling piece of the Cowboys' backfield committee, which includes Miles Sanders ($1.3M), fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue, seventh-round pick Phil Mafah, and practice-squad depth in Malik Davis. Williams' draft pedigree and baseline expectations before his multiple-ligament knee injury in Denver establish him as the clear lead back.
