Dak Prescott is embracing the changes in the Dallas Cowboys offense as training camp ramps up, expressing optimism about the new direction and depth at the running back position.

While contract disputes and headlines swirl elsewhere on the roster, Prescott’s attention remains squarely on the field and on the competition developing behind him.

With Brian Schottenheimer’s system placing renewed emphasis on the ground game, questions remain about who will handle the bulk of carries.

The Cowboys boast a crowded backfield featuring Miles Sanders, Jaydon Blue, Deuce Vaughn, Javonte Williams, Phil Mafah, Hunter Luepke, and KaVontae Turpin.

Rather than settling on a clear starter, Dallas appears poised to take a by-committee approach in 2025. Prescott sees this as a strength, not a liability.

“I think that is fun, honestly, and each one of those guys would probably say the same and appreciate the competition,” Prescott said.

“It’s not going to be one guy, regardless, even if you say, hey, this guy’s the starter now. But understanding that they’re all going to get reps and we’ve just got to figure out who it is that may take more than the other, who’s doing what best?”

He also highlighted the advantage of having versatile options at his disposal. “Being able to throw Turp [Turpin] in the mix, I think it’s awesome just to have a versatile group like that. Not knowing necessarily which one it’s going to be, and who knows, that could be week to week, too.”

Dallas opts for versatility as new season nears

The Cowboys’ current running back rotation presents a diverse mix of skills. Speedsters such as Blue and Turpin can stretch the field, while Sanders and Williams provide a more physical, bruising presence.

The group also includes Vaughn, Luepke, and Mafah, offering further flexibility and insurance as the season approaches.

While it remains uncertain which players will be on the final roster come September, all signs point to Schottenheimer using a committee to maximize each back’s unique abilities.

This approach could help keep defenses off balance and maintain a consistent level of production, regardless of injuries or game plans.

Prescott’s support for the system reflects a team-first mindset as Dallas looks to rebound and contend in the NFC.

His willingness to work with multiple backs, rather than rely on a single feature runner, signals a mature approach to what could be a key storyline for the 2025 season.

Even as contract disputes, such as Micah Parsons’ situation, attract attention away from football, Prescott’s leadership has been crucial in maintaining focus in the locker room.

By prioritizing competition and versatility on offense, he is helping set the tone for a Cowboys team intent on making noise this fall.

As the preseason continues, all eyes will be on how Dallas’s running back rotation takes shape – and whether Prescott and the committee approach can drive the Cowboys’ offense forward.
