## Resource

The running back race is heating up behind Javonte Williams, with Rico Dowdle, Malik Davis, and Deuce Vaughn all fighting for backup roles. Dowdle, a quick, agile back with a 4.38 40-yard dash and a touchdown last season, is looking to solidify his spot after limited but impactful play. His speed and reliability could make him a key change-of-pace option — and if he keeps performing, he’s poised to carve out a vital role this season.
