After 6 seasons, how does Ezekiel Elliott compare with Dallas Cowboys legendary backs?
Dak Prescott might lord over his predecessors in the Dallas Cowboys historic stat book,but the running backs are running a little closer race.
After six season, Ezekiel Elliott has put a dent in the Cowboys record book but he still trails the NFL’s all-time rushing leader Emmitt Smith in most categories. Elliott, however, is on a better pace than Hall of Fame Tony Dorsett and every other top running back in franchise history.
