DeMarco Murray Says He’s “100 Percent” Healthy; Key for Dallas Cowboys’ Success
Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray told the Cowboys’ Fan Fest in San Antonio on Sunday that he’s fully recovered from a broken ankle that ended his rookie year early.
“I’m back 100 percent,” Murray said.
Obviously Murray is eager to get back on the football field after his record-breaking rookie season was cut short due to injury and he became one of the Cowboys’ best players. If healthy, Murray could easily be an MVP candidate in 2012 after Dallas brought in full Lawrence Vickers this off-season to lead the way for the young runner.
Cowboys minicamp for veterans begins in June and Murray is expected to participate, which is fantastic news for the Dallas faithful, who watched a porous ground attack in the final three games of the season after the rookie sensation was sidelined. Murray still hasn’t experienced an NFL off-season since last year’s was basically cancelled due to the NFL lockout, so such events are critical to his health and success at the pro level.
Murray has already been working out during the Cowboys’ voluntary conditioning program over the past month and credits Dallas conditioning coach Mike Woicik for his speedy recovery.
“Mike Woicik has been great to work with,” Murray said. “In college, usually everyone did the same type of program. But here it’s more position specific. I definitely feel better prepared.”
Those words should be music to the ears of Cowboys fans everywhere as Murray is already nearing ideal health, even though he says he’s “100 percent” healthy. With a full off-season to work with Vickers and the offense, Murray will easily be a 1,000-yard rusher in 2012 and might even contend for the rushing crown.
