How do Ezekiel Elliott’s measurable values ​​compare to other running backs?
This section compares his draft training metrics with players in the same position. The line represents the percentile rank of the player. For example, if the bar is halfway, the player falls into the 50th percentile for that metric and that would be considered average.
Elliott played 16 games for the first time last season, which is a remarkable achievement considering he spent all of his preseason in a contract dispute. Once in his pocket for a new six-year extension, Zeke continued his role as a hotspot of offense in Dallas and barely missed a single shot, finding the end zone in six of the first seven games en route to 1,777 yards and 14 TDs. Elliott simply does everything well, but his ability to handle a huge job may be his most striking attribute. He led the league in rush red zones (61) and tied Aaron Jones in TDs from the top five with 10, and only Derrick Henry saw more than Elliott’s 301 total wear – for the third time in four seasons Elliott crossed the 300. In 2020, faced with some significant changes Longtime coach Jason Garrett is gone, and while OC Kellen Moore remains, new head coach Mike McCarthy is likely to favor a scheme more acceptable to add. Perhaps more importantly, five-time Pro Bowler Travis Frederick retired, leaving Joe Looney for the starting center. Elliott posted strong numbers in 2018 when Frederick missed the entire season, but the combination of uncertainty ahead of him and the potential loss of some difficulties with reserve player Tony Pollard could prevent Zeke from producing at the elite level again.
Elliott appeared last season as a truly complete back. In addition to earning its second crown at a rapid pace in three years and improving its YPC from 4.1 in 2017 to 4.7 in 2018, Elliott has exploded as a receiver with more reception than the previous two years combined. His 2,001 nasty yards ranked second after Saquon Barkley, who had 2,028. Despite all that production, Elliott failed in the touchdown department – thanks to the six fastest TDs of his career, he needed three received results to match in the 15 games he scored for touchdowns in 10 games the previous year. The difference was on the goal line where he converted just two of 11 attempts within the 5-meter line (18.2 percent after 33.3 and 50 percent in the previous two years). Fights on the goal line may have been caused in part by playing without stud center Travis Frederick throughout the season, but Elliott also finished 33rd among the qualified runners with a 7.6 broken percentage. Still, Elliott showed elite vision and patience, and when he found the space he remained extremely dangerous, leading the NFL in 10 plus (41) and 15 plus yard (25) runs. That skill also allows him to avoid some of the bigger hits you might expect from a big run backwards, although his workload is a long-term concern – the 381 touch has walked the league with a 29-point lead over Barkley. Narrow end Jason Witten is coming back this year and could take a few of Elliott’s targets, but with Frederick potentially back, the running game will stay up front and in the middle, and Elliott’s motor attacks the team. His retention from training camp could throw the key into that plan, but the Cowboys won’t be too worried if his absence doesn’t extend beyond the preseason.
Although Elliott’s six-game suspension threw a thumbs up not only on his own season, but on the entire 2017 campaign, he managed to finish among the top 10 in carrying, red zone touches and TDs, despite playing just 10 games. He lost an entire yard from his rookie YPC and only managed seven runs of 15 yards or more, but his load was unmatched by Le’Veon Bell as Elliott took 26.8 touches per game and raced for 80 or more yards in all but one game. He is one of the few quarterbacks in the modern NFL, coming from a season in which 85.5 percent of Cowboys ’offensive shots on the field were in the games he played. While not a big-volume addition catcher like Bell or David Johnson, the third-year back proved more than enough as a receiver and blocker to keep tackling most third falls. He runs with good strength and lacks speed, but his greatest weapons are vision and patience, assets highlighted by a terrifying offensive line in front of him – a line reinforced in draft with second-placed Connor Williams. Assuming he doesn’t run into the commissioner’s office again, Elliott is heading into 2018 ready to challenge another hasty title and a seemingly lock for double-digit TDs.
Elliott hit the jackpot in the 2016 draft, landing with a Cowboys team that was perfectly positioned for each back to enter and place a huge number behind their dominant offensive line. The 6-0-pound and 225-pound dynamo from the state of Ohio more than maintained its end of the deal, teasing Eric Dickerson’s 1983 record when the rookie raced through the yards before finally settling for his first of perhaps many hurried crowns. Elliott combined elite vision and plus elusiveness with a burst of breakthroughs to another level and the speed to escape defensive players when he got there. Perhaps the most prized weapon in his arsenal is his unusual patience, as he has shown the ability to wait for games to evolve and place his blocks before attacking a hole. Depressed for the opposition defense, Elliott may just be scratching the surface of his potential. He wasn’t as involved in the passing game as he could have been, something that should change as Dak Prescott develops alongside him, as Elliott was charged with just one drop last year. The Dallas O-line may take a small step back this season after losing two starters in the season, but a real concern emerged in mid-August when Elliott was given a six-game suspension. He has been given a restraining order and a temporary injunction allowing him to continue playing for the Cowboys while his lawsuit takes place in court, but there is little chance he could miss time later in the season if the case ends sooner than expected.
Elliott has run through, around and over collegial defense in the last two years, collecting 41 touches and 4125 yards from the clash. As much as Elliott was dominant in the Big 10, he was even better during three Bowl games in his career: 83 carries, 625 yards, 10 touches, 7.5 carries. Not too shabby for someone who finished eighth in Heisman’s vote as a junior; maybe they should go to the polls after the season is over. He showed the ability to play on all falls and in all packages, which made him unusually smooth on his return entering his freshman season in the NFL. Pokes caught him with his fourth overall pick in May. You can talk at length about who should be 2nd in the draft for rookies only, but Elliott will be the obvious No. 1 choice from a dynasty everywhere – mostly because of his talent, but it also speaks to the uninspiring rookie culture. With that in mind, Elliott’s insulation will only make it more expensive in most pools. Ah, but there is something to love. The Cowboys still have consensus no. 1 in the offensive line (last year they were ranked first in blocking running and passing, according to Pro Football Focus), and Dallas has a slim paper layout. The window to victory in Dallas is narrow, given the age of the key core – and with that, the Cowboys are unlikely to make Elliott wait to prove much.
