Oliver Hoyte looks in line to be the starting fullback for the Cowboys this season. He played in 12 games (5 starts) last season and he caught 2 passes for 10 yards and he made 4 tackles on special teams as a rookie. Lousaka Polite is the likely back up at fullback for the Cowboys. He played in 12 games (0 starts) last season for the Cowboys and he carried the ball 7 times for 18 yards (2.6 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 21 yards (10.5 avg). He has played in 27 games (3 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 9 times for 26 yards (2.9 ypc) and he has caught 12 passes for 97 yards (8.1 avg) with 1 TD grab. Rookie Deon Anderson has the all-around potential to win the starting job outright as he is a better runner than either Hoyte or Polite.
Deon Anderson is quite an impressive physical specimen. He’s 5′10″, 236 pounds and he runs a 4.7 40. Anderson is a strong runner and a good blocker. He also is a special teams assassin so he should be a busy boy for the Cowboys this season. In 47 games (23 starts) at U Conn, he carried the football 114 times for 420 yards (3.7 ypc) with 1 TD run. He also caught 48 passes for 394 yards (8.2 avg) with 3 TD grabs. Anderson was a good pick by the Cowboys.
