Cowboys selected Ohio State RB Mike Weber with the No. 218 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Weber (5’10/211) turned pro as a true junior after logging a career 455/2,676/24 (5.88 YPC) rushing line with 54/297/1 (5.5 YPR) receiving over three years in Columbus. He ran 4.47 at the Combine but didn’t show high-end speed on game tape and largely got what was blocked open for him by the Buckeyes’ line. PFF College credited Weber with a below-par 3.2 yards after contact per rushing attempt in 2018. An ordinary talent with limited pass-catching production, Weber’s probable ceiling is Ito Smith. He will compete with fellow draft pick Trey Pollard (fourth round) for a role behind Ezekiel Elliott.
