Cowboys' RB Depth: Top Prospects to Watch
About this episode
The Dallas Cowboys have a strong running back room, but the top prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft could still be worth considering. Nebraskas Emmett Johnson, Penn States Kaytron Allen, Arkansas Mike Washington Junior, and Notre Dame duo Jadarian Price and Jeremiyah Love are among the top prospects. The Cowboys might draft one of these players late or pass altogether, but keeping an eye on these prospects keeps options open for a potential boost to their offense.

They locked in Javante Williams after his 1,200 yard 11 touchdown year, kept Hunter Lwepke and Malik Davis and there. Banking on young guys like Jaden Blue, Phil Maffa, and Israel Avonaconda to step up. Still, the top five backs in this class are worth watching if the board falls right.

Fans are buzzing about these prospects who bring different flavors. In Nebraska's Image Johnson Exploder 4, 1,4 time won rushing yards in 12 scores last year.
Plus solid receiving chops with. Quick cuts that wear down defenses. Penn State's K-Tron Allen punish foes with 1,303 yards and 15 touchdowns using vision to control the clock. Then you've got Arkansas's Mike Washington Jr., a 6 foot 1 powerhouse with 4.33 speed who does it all inside power, outside, burst, and catches after the whistle. Notre Dame duo, Jadarian Price and Jeremiah Love rounded out. Price scores every nine touches with fresh legs while loves the class leader, A. Workhorse averaging big yards per carry over two years that could elevate any offense. Cowboys brass my snag one late or pass altogether, but knowing these backs keeps options open for that next level back feel boost. Paytune his draft season heats up.
