The Dallas Cowboys could be in the running back market. We'll tell you three day two or maybe day three options they could target next. You are Locked on Cowboys, your daily Dallas Cowboys podcast, part of the Locked on podcast network your team every day. Welcome back. I am your host Marcus Mosher. He is Lana McCool and on today's show we are discussing some mid round running backs. I think that's probably the nice way to say it that the Dallas Cowboys might target in the 2026 NFL Draft. We know they don't have a pick after 20 until 92, but they've got a lot of Day 3 picks and maybe they want to add a running back to this committee behind Javante Williams that gives them something different than what they have in the roster. And I want to start with EMT Johnson, a running back from Nebraska who was very productive over the last couple years. What did you see from him on tape?
- [02:09]
Landon McCool
Yeah, this, this guy's really skilled. Like you know we talk about different guys like you know, being more physical and better athlete and, and some guys just are really good at their position. Right. And, and, and this is one of those guys. I, I, I think he's got very average sized all around. I'm first of all, let's start at the beginning. He was only a three star recruit out of Minnesota. He, I think Nebraska was his only Power 5 offer from what I, what I read. Even though he was Mr. Football of Minnesota in 2021, you know and I think that that's probably attributed to the fact that like I said, he is sort of middling as an athlete size generally healthy throughout his college career he had some minor soft tissue stuff but at certain points, but he's Been basically a workhorse for Nebraska. And like I said, he does that despite having very average sized overall. He's got very large hands, but he's not a very filled out player. I mean he's listed at, was it 5, 10, 202 pounds? Usually when you have guys who are around 202 pounds, you would expect them to be more top end speed guys. Right. Because that's very undersized for an NFL running back. This, that's not what this guy is. But he, what he doesn't have in long speed, he's got in short area burst and a lot of. Of skills and ability. And I think he's very patient with a shifty style that, that relies on that vision and burst. That's why he's good in short areas, specifically between the tackles, despite being a little bit undersized, is that he, he can use his footwork and his vision to kind of navigate traffic. Coincidentally, he has that same trait as 20 as Emmitt Smith. That where he can is really good at you at making kind of subtle moves right before the defender hits them to kind of lessen direct shots at him. You see him very kind of deftly getting, not getting around defenders, but not also taking on shots like direct shots because he's just slightly moving to the left or right right before contact and he's allowing him to kind of deflect off defenders a little bit better. Very. He's got good patience setting up his blockers, which can be a blessing and a curse without elite athleticism because there's times when he gets trapped behind the line of scrimmage and he doesn't have the kind of elite burst to get around guys the way you would like. So there are times when it kind of bites him in the butt a little bit.
- [04:28]
Marcus Mosher
Well, which is funny because I think, I think he's really good at changing directions. But he doesn't have elite speed. Right.
- [04:36]
Landon McCool
Yeah.
- [04:37]
Marcus Mosher
And that's, that's where it can be hard is like he kind of has to string together a lot of moves, but he doesn't have the speed to beat guys to the corner necessarily.
- [04:45]
Landon McCool
Yeah. But if he's got nowhere to go, he's got nowhere. Like he doesn't have the speed to get out of the situation. Right. Like he can make the moves if it's one guy in the hole, he can make the move to get around that guy to get. To get positive yardage. But if there's like multiple breaks and he's corralled, he, he doesn't have that kind of ability to just use speed to bounce out, to get away, to run away from people. He is kind of horizontally explosive, which is what we're kind of describing here. So like he can bounce over a whole gap very quickly and then get up field quickly. He's got the vision to press the hold and cut it all the way backside once the defense has collapsed. We talk using that horizontal explosion like we talked about. Good. On short kind of in breaking like Texas routes where he can use his big hands to kind of snatch the ball and run with it a little bit. Tends to bounce backwards or spin away from contact instead of finishing through it at times.
- [05:39]
Marcus Mosher
Well, and you really see it like in short yardage situations, like it's just, it's not his strength at all.
- [05:45]
Landon McCool
He's not running through guys like that. Right. He, he kind of skill set wise and this may be a real obscure callback for some folks, but he kind of reminds me a little bit of Dwayne McBride. Do you remember Dwayne McBride from a couple years ago? Yeah, yeah. Where he looks great running the football when he's carrying the football, he looks extremely natural, but he doesn't really do anything else. Well. He's not necessarily a great receiver. Like I said in the short stuff he can catch the ball, but he's not like great at running routes or getting open or creating separation against linebackers. And again, he's only £200, so you would expect him to be a little bit better at that because most of the guys that are coming into The NFL at 200 pounds have the kind of athleticism to do that sort of thing. He doesn't necessarily have that.
- [06:34]
Marcus Mosher
92 receptions over the last three seasons, that is a lot for a college running back in 702 yards, 7.6 yards perception. But you're right, it's a lot as like a check down receiver versus like hey, this is a guy that we can use in the slot and be a matchup player. Like he's just not that kind of guy.
- [06:52]
Landon McCool
Like I don't want him necessarily running an option route against a good coverage linebacker or safety. You know, I just don't know that he's going to win that way. Right. He's not strong enough to consistently run through arm tackles below his waist. I mean he's just undersized in general. So where does he win? He's a very skilled runner of the football. I think he would end up being a very interesting number two as part of a committee or number three potentially. And I just Wear this. Unanswered questions. Can he balance out his game to be more useful? Well rounded back. Because right now I just see a guy that even though he caught a lot of passes in, in college, I don't know that he's going to be able to do as much of that in the NFL. And I think, you know, is his lack of size kind of limits his ability to kind of get on the field consistently, even in special teams. I would, I would think so.
- [07:38]
Marcus Mosher
Where would you feel comfortable drafting this player?
- [07:42]
Landon McCool
I mean it would probably be like a fourth or fifth round pick to me. Like, you know, because I think he does like, he can get you what's blocked really well and I wouldn't be shocked if he had like a Kenneth Gift Gainwell kind of career. You know where.
- [07:55]
Marcus Mosher
That was one of my comps for him.
- [07:57]
Landon McCool
Yeah, well, I, I see it right, like, because I do think he's very specifically skilled at what he does. I just don't know that he's going to ever be more than that. And so it's going to take certain teams that have room on their roster to roster a guy who probably also isn't going to play a lot of special teams for you.
- [08:13]
Marcus Mosher
Can I give you another comp? That's probably way too high. At least a college comp.
- [08:17]
Landon McCool
Yeah.
- [08:18]
Marcus Mosher
There's a little bit of Duke Johnson to his game. If you remember Duke Johnson from Miami where Duke Johnson was the same thing. He was 5 foot 10, maybe 200 pounds, wasn't a special athlete, but this was really good at. I mean he was elusive and he was really good at making guys missing the hole. Now in the NFL, the problem is you could never have that guy be your lead back and I think he could be an effective third down back and I think that's maybe where he's going to have value. The problem is I, I watched all of his pass blocking reps the other day and it's, it's pretty rough as a pass blocker and that's the thing that kind of holds me back. It's okay. So if you're not a great pass blocker, you don't have a lot of speed. Yes. You're really good at making guys miss and the jump cuts are unbelievable. And I think he's very creative. To me, he's a guy that needs to be part of a committee, but I don't know if he's ever a guy that you want to give more than eight or nine touches to a game.
- [09:16]
Landon McCool
I, that I. What my not one of the notes that I missed right here is more of a quote, pop you in the shoulder, pop you with his shoulder type blocker than someone who's going to consistently square you up and deliver a proper blow. And because of that, and because the kind of lack of, of. Of, you know, receiving prowess, I would say, again, I think a guy like Dwayne McBride, who, who I really, really liked, this tape of him running the football. But how do I figure out a way to get him on the field? He certainly isn't a running back one. And if he can't do the other things that a running back needs to do, including special teams, how is he rosterable? So, like, you must really like what he's. What he's going to do as a runner, and you have to have a roster spot for him. So I think that kind of limits his ability to be drafted up high. Despite a lot of production in Nebraska.
- [10:02]
Marcus Mosher
Couple of things really quickly before, before we move on. Only one fumble on nearly 300 touches in 2025. So that part of it's really good. He led the FBS with 826 yards on duo in inside run, inside zone runs in 2025. And that's probably a lot of what he would do here in Dallas. So I do think that makes. I think he's a good fit that way because the consensus ranking on him right now is 89th. I'm with you. I think 92 is too expensive. I think once you get to, like, pick 112, that's where I think you could at least have the conversation about where Johnson should land.
- [10:41]
Landon McCool
I spent a lot of time speaking very negatively of this guy, but that should just show you that I agree on. I wouldn't take him night in the third, but I would take him in the fourth. And the reason is the tape of him running the football is extremely good. And let me drive that home. He understands how to run the football very well, so I think he could come in and be a good runner of the football right away on your team.
- [11:02]
Marcus Mosher
All right, let's talk about Nicholas Singleton, one of the most dynamic running backs in this year's class. Should the Cowboys take a chance on him on day three? We'll get to that next.

Welcome back to the Locked on Cowboys podcast. We'd like to thank you for making us your first listen every single day. Don't forget to check out the Everydayer club. You're going to get ad free episodes of the Locked on Cowboys podcast plus discord access with Landon. And I just go to locked on cowboys.supercast.com to join the club. All right, Landon, let's talk about Nicholas Singleton from Penn State, a super athlete at the running back position. What did you see on tape?
- [13:32]
Landon McCool
This is my guy, Marcus. I really, really like Nicholas. Nicholas Singleton. And look, I think there's a lot to, you know, question here. There's a lot of circumstances surrounding him, but this guy is undeniably a freak of nature. And honestly, I think, you know, it's, there's, it's interesting to kind of compare the fact that the Penn State team had two running backs. And obviously we're going to talk about K Tron Allen. The third segment had two running backs that they were pairing up and it was very similar with Notre Notre Dame. Right. Obviously, there's one guy that's kind of the more dynamic guy and there's one that's more of the kind of carry guy. But love obviously got A much bigger lion's share of the carries. And it's interesting because to me I think that Nicholas Singleton is exactly the same kind of athlete as Jeremiah Love is the difference is the skill set, the ability. Right. Jeremiah Love is an incredibly skilled running back as well. Right. We just talked about that with Emma Johnson. He has very middling talent athletically, but he's so skilled that it makes him eligible to be drafted in the NFL. Right. Jeremiah Love has freak of nature athleticism and a similar skill set as what you see from Emma Johnson. Singleton doesn't have that skill set. He was a five star recruit. He was the 2022 Gatorade National Player of the year. I mean I honestly don't need to tell you, you know, better than probably me him being so close and, and obviously being such a huge recruit for Penn State. It's, it. What's interesting and we'll talk about this a little bit with K John Allen is that they shared the backfield all four years of college. Right. So like they don't. They. They haven't really known not sharing it. But what's really kind of intersected back and forth is the efficiency in which Singleton has produced over those years. This last year was by far his least productive or I would say on a per carry basis, productive year. And I wonder. And he broke his foot in the Senior bowl practices early on. I wonder if, if he didn't have that issue throughout the season and it finally kind of broke at the end. Right?
- [15:46]
Marcus Mosher
Yeah.
- [15:46]
Landon McCool
Because, because you just saw like a different type of athlete. But anyways, here's where he is. Here's what my notes are. Impressive physique, thick lower half specifically. I mean he's just, just as you would build it. Madden, Madden build a player at running back. Right. He's 6 foot 220 pounds and he's insanely fast. I mean we didn't get a chance to get his, his 40 time. But I, I mean again you and I were talking about it before the show. I think Jeremiah Love ran a 43 7. If that, if that's. Does that sound right to you? Something around there?
- [16:16]
Marcus Mosher
Yeah, something like that. Yeah.
- [16:17]
Landon McCool
I would, I would be shocked if Singleton didn't. Wasn't a little bit faster. Honestly, like maybe he's a super. Yes, he is an incredible athlete. So. So I just like just putting it out there and look, the coaching staff to their credit, as much as I wanted to claw my eyes out watching that Penn State offense, the coaching staff to their credit tried to scheme all kinds of Alternative touch opportunities for him. You know, you saw shift to jet sweep stuff, quick screens and, and the reason is, is because he's exceptionally dangerous with the ball. He's, he runs really fast. He lines up wide at times just to draw defensive attention and they'll end up just carrying, giving the ball to Katrin Allen up the middle. He, like I said, he shared backfill for four extremely productive seasons with Cage on Allen. Vision between the tackles can be a little bit hit or miss at times. And this is where we run into the issue, right. Is that he doesn't have great or at least very well developed natural instincts and eyes. I think that means that he's probably going to be better in more gap and power scheme stuff where it's very clear where the hole is and where the Runway is. And if you give it to him, he's going to explode through it. He is specifically not elusive. Like he will run into his guys. He'll run into your guys.
- [17:35]
Marcus Mosher
That's what I was gonna say. I feel bad for Tyler Booker and Tyler Smith that they draft this kid because their backs are gonna hurt like crazy.
- [17:40]
Landon McCool
Yeah, right in the back. Yeah, it's, it's fair to say that for sure he doesn't anticipate the whole opening necessarily. Again, that's why I feel like power is better for him right where he can see it. But he is extremely powerful. He, he's got power to drag tacklers around his waist. He's extremely fast. If he's got a Runway he can get, he'll, he could break almost any, any, any touch to go all the way to the end zone if he could avoid bodies to not hit them. He's incredible at transitioning from receiver to runner. And this is something, this is why I like him so much. He's dangerous in the quick passing game. He's very dangerous in the quick passing game already because of this. Right. I think there is major upside with him here because if he could clean up some of his footwork in this too high world, he would be absolutely deadly as an underneath receiver. You drop all your linebackers, you drop all your safeties deep, you quickly get this guy the ball and a head of steam, he's going to pick up 10, 15 yards before you even get a body on him. And then when you do get a body on him, it is going to hurt when he hits you with his, with his speed, where does he win? He's balanced, athletic back who could shine in a role as a secondary weapon. Here's the thing about him, he has the skill, everything. He just isn't great at doing everything. So he could easily be a running back to in your offense right away. Unanswered questions can he improve his vision and footwork to be an elite all around back in the NFL?
- [19:10]
Marcus Mosher
And honestly, I don't really disagree with anything you said. He was insanely productive at Penn State and yet I don't know if he's good at football like because I think he's that special of an athlete. Yeah, I have an official. Well, it's not really official, but NFL scouts timed him at 4, 3, 6 last spring at Penn State. So you're talking about a freak athlete, somebody who's running a sub 44 at 220 pounds. They just don't make very many of those running backs. Right. I just, I remember being are getting so burned on Christine Michael way back when on in our running back that had all the physical traits but just didn't have the vision or didn't have just the natural instincts. And I've always, I've always been careful not to do that again and I do think he's got some shades of that to his game. But you're right like if you're just, if you're just asking him to run like gap stuff and just get downhill and if the, the holes are big, like I, I, I don't see how he's not a successful player in the NFL.
- [20:12]
Landon McCool
Well, I'll even go so further. Again we're drafting for specifically the Cowboys. If you draft him as your running back too and he kind of starts to slowly take over some of the Cavante Turpin role. Right? Like imagine running this guy on a jet sweep instead of Gavonte Turpin, you know, I mean again, like I think he could do a lot of that stuff and carve out a role where he's just a, another guy that you can deploy in your offense that changes the angle.
- [20:42]
Marcus Mosher
It's, it's almost like if you could, if you blended Phil Mafa and Jaden Blue into one player, you'd get Nichol Singleton. Right.
- [20:49]
Landon McCool
Which is literally what we talked about doing last year. Right? Remember, we're like imagine if we can blend these two guys together. So yeah, I mean, again, I, I don't think he's for everybody and I definitely wouldn't prescribe him as a guy for a team that's looking for a starting running back. But for what the Cowboys are specifically looking for at running back, that's what I think I get. That's where I get excited about the
- [21:11]
Marcus Mosher
prospect of Nicholas Singleton on the consensus board right now. Pick 130, which means, you know, in fact, during the injury stuff, you're probably looking at like a late fourth round, early fifth round pick. And I'm assuming that's where you would be more than comfortable. Comfortable drafting him. Correct.
- [21:26]
Landon McCool
I would take him earlier and I would be okay with taking him earlier. And here's the thing. I think he had a disappointing season. He finished a disappointing season by getting injured in the Senior Bowl. Those two things may be related. Like we just said the Cowboy. That's one of the reasons that I really like it is because you're getting an extreme discount on a player who you compared to Christine Michael. But he is a much more talented and, and, and yes, and he plays, he's a better football player than Christine Michael is right now. Like he, he. I understand why you made that. Well, exactly. I, I understand. I, I understand why you made that comparison. I would suggest that it's not as severe as Christine Michaels.
- [22:07]
Marcus Mosher
Yes, totally agree. Now I want to talk about Catron Allen, his running mate in that Penn State backfield because, spoiler, I like him quite a bit. We'll get to Catron Allen next.

- [23:25]
Marcus Mosher
welcome back to the Locked on Cowboys podcast. We are discussing day three running backs that could be of interest to the Dallas Cowboys. And let's talk about Singleton's teammate Catron Allen, who was really productive during the 2025 season. He was a third team all American. He was a first team all big ten selection. He had 1300 rushing yards. What did you think when you turned on the tape.
- [23:50]
Landon McCool
Yeah. Four star recruit out of IMG, right. The academy in Florida, top 15 ranked nationally. Guy had offers from Alabama and Georgia and Ohio State. So another extremely highly ranked running back who came in in the same class like we said, as, as, as, as the. As running mate. So no major long term injuries here. He, he left a game in Nebraska last, this last year in 2025 but it was a minor thing so. And he, and I think he ended up as if I'm not mistaken, Penn State's all time leading rusher. Is that right? Yep. I think he said passed him past this year. So you know, solidly built, a sturdy lower half. I mean even more solid. I mean they're very similarly built as far as the numbers wise but the, the distribution of where the weight is, is kind of, is, is kind of moved around a little bit. It feels like you have a little bit narrower hips with Singleton and with, with Allen you've got more of a kind of just. He's kind of thick and solid everywhere physical runner. He tries to get north and south quickly even on plays that are designed to get horizontal. He's, he's looking to get downhill very quickly. He's got a very good vision especially as an inside runner. He's very efficient in getting what is blocked for him and I think that's really why you saw him continue to get a lot of carries with single with Singleton is that he is going to give you what is blocked like. He, he, he may give you more than that too but he definitely will at least give you what is blocked right. Good short area, quickness to parallel sidestep to the next gaps over. He has no problem adjusting on the fly if things get clogged up in the lane that he's working in. He could pull away. He doesn't have that kind of. I'm sorry, he can't pull away. He doesn't have that. He doesn't have that final gear to kind of destroy angles for linebackers and DBs. It can run for big gains when there's big holes. And I think like I said he's. But I don't think he's going to create, you know, a big play with a small crease necessarily. That's not necessarily his game. He could be extremely hard to bring down. There are times when you see him even lose momentum and kind of he's just sort of standing there and he's fighting with defenders until they sort of force him to the ground. Where does he win? He's, he's Just a very, extremely efficient ball carrier who's hard to bring down. Unanswered question. Where. Where does the upside come from with him? Because to me, it's it. My issue is that I don't. I didn't see a ton as a receiver. I think he's. I think he's a willing blocker and he's bigger and stronger, but it's a little bit like a Johnson in some degrees, except I. I feel like Johnson may be. Even though he's not as good of an athlete, I think Johnson's maybe a little bit more of a skilled runner than Catron Allen is.
- [26:41]
Marcus Mosher
See, I really liked his game because there's just. He's not a hard projection. And maybe this is me just liking players that I don't have to think too hard about. But, like, he is a downhill, physical run runner. Zero career fumbles. He's averaged over five yards per carry in four consecutive seasons. And he just gets north and south and gets what's blocked in. He'll run a guy over and that's it. And I, he reminded me. I. I'm writing it down. Gus Johnson, who played for the Ravens for a long time, played for the Chargers. And, you know, Gus Johnson on the right team, this guy that averaged 5 yards of carry in the NFL, and nobody ever thinks of him as a great back or anything like that, but just a really good rotational running back that gives you some physicality. I think my. The knock on him is there's no speed. I think he's not really an asset as a receiver. You don't see a ton of zone concepts on his tape either. It's really just a lot of gap, a lot of inside stuff. But that's okay. Like, if you wanted something different to pair with Javante, it's probably not Allen, but if you wanted a guy that can give you something similar, I do think he can do that.
- [27:50]
Landon McCool
I also think that, you know, again, what we're talking about are backup running backs, right? So you have to kind of at least consider special teams. And I do think that a guy like HR and Allen probably gives you a little bit more in some special teams.
- [28:05]
Marcus Mosher
He just hasn't done it. That's the other thing. He's never played any special teams, which, that, to me, that is a concern.
- [28:09]
Landon McCool
That's a concern with all these running backs. I mean, let's be honest, none of these guys that are being drafted into the NFL as running backs have played a ton of special teams unless they're, you know, from a smaller school most of the, you know, you think Emmett Johnson, like, he's the whole offense.

Marcus Mosher
No.

So, like, I don't think he's running down a kickoff. So, yeah, I, I, I, I think that that's something you have to keep in mind. But I think he's got at least the body and the physicality, the mindset for it. So.

Although I think Singleton could be a kick returner if you need him to be.
- [28:35]
Landon McCool
Well, no, I do think Singleton does have special teams. Yeah. Because he could be a kick returner. Because he could be, you know, on the return teams for sure. So, yeah, I think that's a different case and that's more part of his appeal, I guess. And that's why he's a very different player than I think, Katron Allen and Emmett Johnson.

Marcus Mosher
So just judging by your tone, it goes Singleton, Johnson, Allen for you.

Landon McCool
Yeah, there's a little gap there. Right. For me, because I do think that, again, the fit for what we're talking about for the Cowboys, what you're looking for, specifically someone who could be a little bit more dynamic. I think that's a better fit for what the Cowboys were looking for. I like Allen and Johnson and the rules that we just talked about, but I think it's, it's sort of limiting, and I feel like there's a lot of those bodies in the NFL already.

I checked Allstate first and saved hundreds on my car insurance. Really smart. Unfortunately, I didn't check if I took the gas hose out of my car's tank. Oh, not smart. And I drove off while still attached to pump number three.
