Lance Dunbar draws praise from Cowboys OTAs

[Coach Andy Mac]

the backfield yet, but running back Lance Dunbar has been shining at OTAs.

Per ESPN's Todd Archer, Dunbar stole the show at Wednesday's practice.

"If they handed out MVP of the day trophies, then it would have gone to running back Lance Dunbar. He caught four passes from Tony Romo in the two-minute drill work to close the first-team’s work in practice and had the linebackers on skates in seven-on-seven drills. Perhaps this really is the year the Cowboys use Dunbar more."

Dunbar is expected to compete for the third-string running back position, but with Darren McFadden sidelined with a hamstring injury, he got a few extra carries on Wednesday.

The former UNT produced has a unique skill set that other Cowboys running backs don't have. The 5-8 scatback can get to the outside quicker than the rest and has excellent hands out of the backfield.

I hope we see more of him.

Very underutilized. Hope he gets more action this year!

With the Cowboys RB situation it appears they'll be splitting time between McFadden, Randle, Dunbar. That's awesome news for Lance because they haven't used him enough and he's an impressive player. Really quick too.
