Dallas Morning News insider David Moore covered Elliott’s entire Cowboys career. What will it be like without him?
Elliott isn’t the first professional athlete to burn bright early and flame out in a way that’s unfair to his talent and approach. The NFL is a fierce opponent.
Seven years into his career, most no longer view Elliott as the third-best running back in the franchise’s rich existence. Emmitt Smith, the leading rusher in league history, and Tony Dorsett are the only backs ahead of him and both have busts in the Hall of Fame. Just 42 backs have rushed for more yards than Elliott in the league’s 103 years.The narrative is driven by how Tony Pollard moved past him as the Cowboys best back and how he’s not worth the contract he and his agent.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and running back Ezekiel Elliott hold up a shirt saying "Zeke who?" as executive vice president Stephen Jones laughs during a press conference on Thursday, September 5, 2019.. Name a novel he wrote in the 70 years after that classic. Elliott is no different. He’s no different from the accomplished and vibrant associate, friend or family member who develops a debilitating disease late in life and becomes defined by that malady. The difference:Don’t mistake this as an ode to Elliott that glosses over the aggressive and misogynistic behavior he exhibited upon entering the league, the most glaring being allegations of physical abuse against a former girlfriend that resulted in a six-game suspension.
