Felix Jones can claim two distinctions on the Cowboys: biggest and fastest of the running backs.

Coach Wade Phillips acknowledged Sunday the speedster Jones reported to camp heavier than Marion Barber, the power back. Jones said he weighed in at 218 pounds. Phillips said Barber reported at 214 pounds.

Both body changes were by design.

Jones added his weight through increased upper-body strength. Jones wanted the strength to help him handle an anticipated heavier workload. In the final six games – including playoffs – last season, Jones averaged 13 carries and 79.1 yards.

“Anything that helps me out,” Jones said. “It’s a physical game. I think this will help me out throughout the season.”

Barber, down by about eight pounds, is among numerous players who have dropped weight in search of increased speed and agility.
