Cowboys VP: We're looking to add RB depth behind Ezekiel Elliott

As the Dallas Cowboys look toward the 2019 NFL Draft, they have a goal of making life a little easier on Ezekiel Elliott. Cowboys VP Stephen Jones noted on Tuesday that he wants to get Elliott some help in the backfield. Elliott can definitely use a lighter workload. Elliott has led the league in both rushing yards and attempts in two of his first three NFL seasons. The only exception came in 2017, a season in which he served a six-game suspension. It would also behoove Dallas to be less dependent on him. Injuries do happen, and since he came into the league, the Cowboys have been a much different team without him. Since Elliott was drafted in 2016, Dallas has posted a 32-16 record. In addition to his six-game suspension in 2017, Elliott sat out meaningless Week 17 games in both 2016 and 2018. In the eight games without him, the Cowboys have gone 4-4.
