Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is having a phenomenal season. His name’s pretty well entrenched in not just Offensive Rookie of the Year discussions, but in the league MVP race. He runs all over opposing defenses every week, but that’s not all Elliott can do.
Ezekiel Elliott beat Dez Bryant for a jump ball before Cowboys vs. Vikings
Did the rookie running back really beat Dez Bryant for a jump ball in the end zone? Yes.
Dallas Cowboys
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
Ezekiel Elliott can beat Dez Bryant for a jump ball in the end zone, as he demonstrated prior to the Cowboys’ Thursday Night Football matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
Yes, Dez Bryant, who is 6’2 and 220 pounds, got beat on this throw by a running back who is two inches shorter and five pounds heavier. It’s not because Bryant can’t make that play, because he certainly can. Elliott is just a well-rounded athlete who can do it all.
After the game, Elliott had a simple request for Dallas QB Dak Prescott after his pregame catch.
Elliott has 24 catches for 303 yards and one touchdown for the Cowboys so far this season, and maybe Dallas should keep him in mind for any Hail Marys in the end zone.
