A biography for Ezekiel Elliotthasn’t been written yet.
“I understand what's expected of me. I understand the lineage for the running back position of the Dallas Cowboys.”
“You can't win every game, so I've just got to get back to work and get better next week.”
“I think they're taking a little bit of the fun out of this pro game.”
“You don't want to attack one game more than another.”
“I'm not going to change; I'm going to keep grinding. I'm going to do all I can to win.”
“I think I've been doing a good job of just making sure that I'm taking care of my body.”
“To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.”
“It would be special, just to know I had the best rookie season a running back has had in this league, especially a record that's been however old it is.”
“This is a physical game, and that's how you have to play. When you do that, the defense eventually gets tired of tackling you.”
“I want to go play behind that great offensive line they have down in Dallas.”
“I think I'm a guy who's going to work and work hard from Day 1, and I think I'm a guy who brings a lot of versatility to the position.”
“I'm a guy that can play three downs. You don't have to take me off the field. I value blocking.”
“The way I approach things is that I'm a physical player.”
“I wouldn't say I'm a victim of high expectations. The expectations are going to be there.”
“I wasn't going to play on defense in college.”
“Nobody's expectations are going to be more than mine.”
“I'm a great pass catcher. I'm excellent in pass protection, which is the most important thing. You can't play, you can't get on the field if you don't protect that franchise quarterback.”
“That's just how I live my life. That's how I was raised: to demand excellence out of myself.”
“I just like the ball in my hands whether I'm running it or catching it.”
“What's a priority is going out there and winning ballgames every week.”
