The Dallas Cowboys were officially eliminated from the NFL Playoffs in Week 16, and Week 17 was an embarrassment of epic proportions with the team falling to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, 41-7.
With the loss, Cowboys Nation was left looking forward to the offseason and upcoming NFL Draft.
It is clear that the Cowboys lack depth and offensive firepower, which has led to the team consistently being linked to several top offensive playmakers in the 2025 draft class.
Whether it be running back or wide receiver, the Cowboys need reinforcements, and ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. has one player in mind: Boise State star running back and Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty.
Jeanty, who played high school in Frisco, Texas, has said he believes he could be a “hometown hero” if he is drafted by the Cowboys. He also thinks Dallas could be a “perfect fit” for his talents.
This season, Jeanty rushed for 2,288 yards and 28 touchdowns, averaging a whopping 7.3 yards per carry.
