Ezekiel Elliott Having "Tremendous Offseason"
2 years agoDallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that running back Ezekiel Elliott has had a "tremendous offseason." Quarterback Dak Prescott said he expects Elliott to have his best season in 2022. "I think the biggest thing with Zeke is he's completely healthy now and he's had a tremendous offseason," McCarthy said. The three-time Pro Bowler had a career-low 237 carries for 1,002 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, while adding 47 receptions for 287 yards and two more TDs through the air in 17 regular season games. The 26-year-old had his workload managed in the second half of the season while dealing with nagging injuries, and backup Tony Pollard looked more explosive a lot of the time. Elliott has reached 1,000 yards rushing in four of his six NFL seasons, but even if he's healthy, Pollard figures to continue cutting into his workload, making him an RB2 now instead of a clear RB1.
