The Dallas Cowboys need a powerful running back and are looking in South Florida for one.

Ryan Flowers of The Draft network reports the Cowboys are set to host Miami RB Damien Martinez on a 30 visit.

The Cowboys currently have the No. 12 pick in the NFL Draft. Will Marteniz go that high? Sadly no. He could be a great day two or three steal for any team, especially the Cowboys.

The Cowboys are set to take a running back first and likely be Heisman Finalist Ashton Jeanty from Boise State if he slips that far down but that does not mean they only need one. Martinez was praised for running a 4.51 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine on Saturday while also impressing many in the audience. Now he has a date with the Cowboys.

Martinez finished his college career in two seasons at Oregon State and one at Miami with 32 receptions for 391 yards and no TDs. Rushing the ball Martinez had 514 carries for 3,169 yards and 26 TDs.

He is a sleeper pick in this draft class and many will love to have the talented hard-working physical back in their locker room.
