Florida’s Malik Davis could inspire Cowboys to select a RB late in 2022 NFL draft

A rotational back in college could join a soon-to-be changing running back rotation in Dallas. Tyler Browning (@DiabeticTyler) puts the Gator under the microscope.

There is an intriguing name and position that stands out on the Cowboys list of 30 official visitors. Florida running back Malik Davis may be a surprise addition due to the current Cowboys running back room. Ezekiel Elliott is under contract for another three seasons. Meanwhile fans have been pining for Tony Pollard to get more opportunities with the rock in his hands. However Pollard’s contract expires at the end of the season and there is a relatively safe escape from Elliott’s contract should the club look for cap savings.

Davis has a tricky projection, however. His name is rarely brought up in draft circles as he rarely cracks any positional rankings. He’s played every year since he stepped on campus at Florida, and has consistently been part of a stable of backs in committee approaches. But in 2021 he started a majority of the games for the Gators and had arguably his best season to date. So does he fit with the Cowboys? Let’s take a look at his film and find out.
