Tony has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns, but his march to 1,005 yards in the past season was much more difficult than his Pro Bowl campaign in the previous year when Pollard ran for 1,007 yards.

Tony, who will become 27-year-old next month, had just 1 hundred-yard match in the past campaign after finishing with 4 in the previous season. Pollard sustained a broken ankle in the 2022 postseason defeat against the San Francisco 49ers but returned for training camp and did not miss a match in the past campaign.

Tony production was elite, but the running game was not as productive as it had been in the previous years. Pollard appeared in the past campaign on a over 10 million dollars franchise tag and never really got close to inking a long-term contract with Dallas.

In his 1^st 3 seasons, Tony was Ezekiel Elliott’s reserve despite steadily earning more time on the field because of his ability to provide big plays.
