Cowboys News: Elliott calls 2020 the best roster in his 5 seasons

With the countdown to the NFL season in single digits, the Cowboys look to make their final cuts and shape their 2020 squad.

The countdown to the 2020 NFL season has reached single digits. In just eight days the world will sit down in front of their television sets (unless you’re in Kansas City) to watch the Chiefs raise their World Championship banner in front of their home fans while the rest of the league prepares to dethrone them.

According to Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, this is the most talented team he’s been a part of. The cornerback room has been declared the Cowboys weakest link on their squad. Rookie cornerback Trevon Diggs is out to prove those people wrong real fast. He’s been turning heads since he arrived in Dallas after draft night.

Dak Prescott finds himself on another list right before the season is set to kick off. Was he justified as the No. 20 player in the NFL? Another busy news Day in big D.
