## Resource

Phil Mafah is quietly emerging as a serious contender for Dallas Cowboys’ No. 2 running back role, bringing massive size, downhill power, and offseason standout performances that make him a perfect fit for the team’s offensive needs. While Javonte Williams leads the charge, Mafah’s workhorse build and consistent play could earn him a key backup spot — especially if Jaydon Blue’s speed isn’t enough to cover all bases. With Malik Davis also in the mix, Mafah’s durability and training camp performance will be critical to securing his role. Can he prove he’s more than just insurance? The Cowboys’ roster could hinge on it.
