ESPN – Ezekiel Elliott have passed away today at 28 year-old… Sad news

On the Cowboys’ comeback, Ezekiel Elliott said, “Got unfinished business.”

Texas’s Frisco It seemed as though Ezekiel Elliott was back home when he was introduced to the Riders Field crowd prior to Wednesday’s Reliant Energy Home Run Derby. After playing for the New England Patriots the previous season, Elliott inked a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. He has participated in this week’s on-field practices. “Coming back here to finish what I started was important to me,” Elliott stated during the Cowboys’ annual fundraising event.

Elliott spent the first seven years of his career with the Cowboys, becoming the franchise’s third all-time leading rusher behind Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett. He was named to the Pro Bowl three times and an All-Pro once.

In 103 games, he ran for 8,262 yards on 1,881 carries with 68 touchdowns. He caught 305 passes for 2,336 yards with 12 touchdowns.

He led the Patriots last year in rushing yards (642) and receptions (51), and while he has not had a 100-yard rushing game since 2021, he is not ready to concede his status as a starting running back.

“At the end of the day I’m a football player. I love this game,” Elliott said. “I think I still am a dominant guy. I’ve got to go out there and prove that. That’s a motivation. I think we all know how I feel about competing and leaving it all out there for my teammates.”

No one is more excited about Elliott’s return than Dak Prescott. Elliott and Prescott built a tight bond since they were drafted together in 2016.

“He’s a real guy,” Prescott said. “He’s honest, what you see is what you get. He can have fun, but when it’s time to be serious and lock in, there’s nobody better than him … It’s something every young guy should follow, the way that he goes about his business. It’s going to be huge for this team.”
