Cowboys RB coach says Murray can be 'elite'
DeMarco Murray - RB - Dallas Cowboys
Feb. 20, 2013 - 6:30 PM ET

Cowboys position coach Gary Brown believes DeMarco Murray has the potential to be an "elite" running back.

Murray's biggest obstacle will be staying healthy, as he's missed a total of nine games the last two seasons. In the games where Murray has played, he's averaging 4.8 yards-per-carry with 1,560 rushing yards and six touchdowns. "We all know that the injury bug has bit him a little," Brown said. "We have to keep him healthy, and we'll work to just refine some things. Obviously he is a good, talented runner. We just want to shine up some things and get him to be elite."
