Cowboys RB Battle Heats Up: Davis Faces Fierce Challenge
13 Jun
Summary
- Malik Davis is the current favorite for the Cowboys' RB2 position.
- Phil Mafah and Jaydon Blue are emerging as strong contenders.
- Both Mafah and Blue showed significant improvement during OTAs.
The competition for the Dallas Cowboys' RB2 position is heating up, with Malik Davis facing strong challenges from Phil Mafah and Jaydon Blue. Davis, who showed promise late last season, was considered the favorite entering the offseason.
However, OTAs highlighted significant strides made by both Mafah and Blue. Both players demonstrated marked improvement from their previous seasons, with sources describing their current performance as "night and day" compared to last year. They even each scored a touchdown during a recent practice, signaling their readiness to contend.
While Davis retains an experience advantage, the emergence of Mafah and Blue indicates the RB2 job will not be easily secured. Mandatory minicamp next week will be a key indicator of how this tightly contested battle will continue to unfold.
