Coming into the 2022 season, the Dallas running back room was one of the most promising and the momentum of Tony Pollard was palpable. 17 games later, Pollard is the home run hitter for the Cowboys offense and now he’s eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards for the season early in the second quarter.
He is the 9th player in club history to reach the mark and this is the 31st time in franchise history.
In a crucial contract year, Pollard is forcing the Cowboys’ hand and he’ll have a big payday coming, whether it’s from Dallas or another suitor. On the season, Pollard has 1,003 rushing yards, 371 passing yards with 12 total touchdowns and counting. If the Cowboys are to right the ship in this 14-0 deficit and make a playoff run, Pollard is one of the catalysts and the 1,000 yard milestone is long overdue.
