Ezekiel Elliott

“I understand what's expected of me. I understand the lineage for the running back position of the Dallas Cowboys.”

“I feel blessed. All the great running backs that have come through Ohio State - Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Beanie Wells - I'm happy that I was able to carry on that lineage this season.”

“Trust your landmark and run through the smoke. It's going to open up eventually.”

“I think actually it's kind of sad because something I looked forward to just getting to the NFL growing up was just being able to have more fun, the rules loosen up, being able to celebrate.”

“In playoff football, you've got to be physical. You've got to run the ball.”

“I think at Ohio State, we're professional athletes in Columbus.”

“With every rep, you're going to get better.”

“Ohio means a lot to me. Kinda like a second home, just the memories I have here and the fans I made while at Ohio State with the things that I accomplished at that great university.”

“I just don't like how long the jersey is. I don't like to tuck it in, so I like to tuck it up under.”

“I think I'm a guy who's going to work and work hard from Day 1, and I think I'm a guy who brings a lot of versatility to the position.”
