A collection of articles and blog posts concerning Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott on various subjects and across several seasons.
Many Cowboy fans were unimpressed when Jerry Jones decided to make Ezekiel Elliott the highest paid running back in the league in 2019.

The theory is that you should run them into the ground while they are still on their rookie deals…
There is one Dallas Cowboys running back who bears the majority of weight on his shoulders, and that is none other than Ezekiel Elliott.

Ever since Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott were drafted in 2016, many of Prescott’s critics have asserted that Zeke was the reason for Dak’s success.
