Cowboys Draft Ezekial Elliott

The Dallas Cowboys, with running backs coach Gary Brown front and center in the draft war room, added to their offense with Ohio State running back Ezekial Elliott. The running back joins a stable that includes Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris, the former Washington Redskins Pro Bowl starter who signed in free agency. Elliott is the seventh running back selected in the top five in the past 15 years. Only one, LaDainian Tomlinson, appeared in a Pro Bowl.

“We got five guys here. That just speaks for itself,” Elliott said. “That’s what is expected from Ohio State. That’s why we all went to the Ohio State University.”

Elliott has already made tracks on the turf in Arlington, where the Buckeyes won the 2015 national championship game.
