Agreed!That's always nice, now give him the damn ball!
Yep. The MO is they talk up White athletes and then ignore them when the season comes. Let’s hope Leupke is able to break through some this season.Agreed!
Good to see he’s established himself even if it is at FB.https://nfltraderumors.co/cowboys-re-signing-fb-hunter-luepke-to-two-year-7-5m-extension/
Good for Luepke. He probably won't factor much into the Cowboys offense but one can only hope.

Honestly Cowboys RB room is trash. Was listening to Gruden podcast earlier and he stated Cowgirls only had 3 runs of 20yards or longer last season. Literally not hurting your chances by giving Luepke 10 carries a game. It will never happen, 5 affletes would have to drop like flies..
Some seem to have Stockholm Syndrome, or are "go along to get along" types. I don't know anything about what Luepke is like personality wise. I do know that he has a 9.68 RAS, which is outstanding, averaged over 6 yards per run at North Dakota State which is a program that can play with the "big boys" and also averaged nearly 13 yards per reception and ran a 4.61 at his pro day at 230 pounds.It makes me wonder what kind of conversations these white running backs have with the coaches behind closed doors. I imagine a white running back who’s ascended to the highest level of football isn’t a pushover who’s going to be told he’s nothing more than a blocking back. If it was me I’d be telling them either I get the ball or I’m not suiting up for you. Maybe it really just comes down to the money.
I don’t think so either. I do think they won the Micah Parsons trade. From what it sounds like, Parsons back is jacked. He’s going to have to be taking epidural shots every game just to be game time ready.
Be interesting to see how much Luepke gets used. You taking over/under

Watch his TD catch at @ the 58 second mark of this highlight film and the replay of it. There's not a black running back in the NFL that could make a catch like that. Luepke is clearly an NFL caliber runner, quite possibly (probably) the best all-around one on the Cowboys. It's a shame the Cowboys DWFs are still so brainwashed that there's been no push for Luepke to run the ball more. It'll take a Hillis Curse scenario for that to happen, and even then decrepit old Jerry Jones would likely veto it.
Change the color on this video so that the race of the runner/receiver can't be discerned and every "draft expert" would have seen him as what he is -- a power tailback who also has great hands. There's not one good reason why he doesn't get the opportunity to run in the NFL to see if he has what it takes except for the obvious one.
