Cowboys Critics Wrong To Predict ‘Boys No. 1 ‘Bust’ At Training Camp originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

OXNARD – This one’s “lazy.” That one’s never been good. That one’s gonna be a “bust.”

The Dallas Cowboys’ running back room in 2025 under Brian Schottenheimer has gotten a lifetime of motivation given how many times they’ve been beaten down and picked on this offseason.

Oh, and we aren’t even a week into training camp yet.

Miles Sanders, Javonte Williams, and Jaydon Blue loom as the top three as we work through Oxnard. And they are working, yet …

Bleacher Report has named Javonte as Dallas’ “bust” candidate.

“This offseason, the Cowboys added former Broncos running back Javonte Williams to help reload their rushing attack,” Bleacher Report writes. “While Williams’ one-year, $3 million deal is modest, he’s still largely expected to open the season as RB1. Williams hasn’t been an explosive back since his 2022 ACL tear, and he’s likely to cede touches to Miles Sanders, Deuce Vaughn and rookie Jaydon Blue early and often.”

Whoa. Slow down. Allow the Fish Report to straight this out, OK?
