Question

The Cowboys currently have Ezekiel Elliott and Darren McFadden on their roster. Both were selected No. 4 overall in the draft the year they came out. In the last 30 years, but is the only other team that has used two running backs who were both top-4 picks in the same game?

Answer

Cincinnati, with Ki-Jana Carter and Garrison Hearst in 1996. Carter was a No. 1 overall pick, while Hearst was chosen 3rd overall. New Orleans had a pair of No. 1 overall picks in 1984 (Earl Campbell and George Rogers) but that’s just over 30 years ago.
