What will '24 return do for Ezekiel Elliott's place in NFL, Cowboys record books?
Ezekiel Elliott has returned to Dallas. And while no one realistically assumes he’ll lead the league in rushing (as he did two times in his first three seasons), make the Pro Bowl (as he did three times in his first four seasons), or even break 1,000 yards (as he did four times in his first six years), the expectation is that he will nevertheless make a noticeable contribution on the field.
Yes, he turned in career lows in New England last season in rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and yards per attempt, but the 225-pounder still showed enough power to earn a second stint in the Cowboys backfield, where he’ll likely be used on short-yardage downs, in goal-line situations, and as a reliable target in the passing game, not to mention his blocking prowess in pass protection.
But his Cowboys comeback could also help him climb the historical rankings in a few high-profile categories. Here’s where Elliott stands now, plus a few of the numbers to keep an eye on from the new No. 15 during the 2024 season.
