Ezekiel Elliott

“We want to play a physical game and impose our will on people.”

“Whoever wins MVP, whoever wins whatever those awards are, that's not my decision.”

“We've talked before what is important is week in, week out, getting wins and getting better.”

“Trust your landmark and run through the smoke. It's going to open up eventually.”

“I'm going to go out there and do what I do and play football, and everything will work out.”

“During the game, there has to be a moment where you have to set the tone. You have to let them know that you're a physical player.”

“You can't really sit around when you're sore. You've got to get up and work all that lactic acid out.”

“You can't go out and press. That's when you're going to make mistakes. Just act like you've done it before.”

“It just helped going to work every day, knowing that you're going to work with guys that believe in you; you're going to work for guys that believe in you. You want to perform for them.”

“It should be about this team, and it should be about these guys. It should be about our relationship. It shouldn't be about records.”

“The best way to learn is getting out there, getting reps, and making mistakes.”

“I just don't like how long the jersey is. I don't like to tuck it in, so I like to tuck it up under.”

“I think actually it's kind of sad because something I looked forward to just getting to the NFL growing up was just being able to have more fun, the rules loosen up, being able to celebrate.”

“I am tired of hearing about Coach Harbaugh; I think he needs to get in check with reality because, at the end of the day, you can't talk smack about a rivalry when you haven't won a rivalry game. You got to win ballgames to be able to talk behind it.”

“Ohio means a lot to me. Kinda like a second home, just the memories I have here and the fans I made while at Ohio State with the things that I accomplished at that great university.”

“If we go out there, and we play well and win football games, all the good stuff will come with it. It's not my job to worry about something I can't control.”

“You definitely have to think of the perception of things before you actually do certain things. It may not seem like it's a big deal to you yourself, but there's a bigger picture.”

“I live for the high expectations.”

“Every play, I'm trying to get as many shots on the opposing team as I can, so when you get to the fourth quarter, they obviously don't want to be on the field anymore.”

“It's always great to get more reps.”
