The tailback had been one of the best runners in the league after Dallas took him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft — leading the NFL in rushing yards twice and earning three Pro Bowl selections.
His production, though, waned over the past couple years … and following Tony Pollard‘s emergence as a lead back in the 2022 season — the Cowboys parted ways with Elliott this past offseason.
But the 27-year-old seems very open to the new start — he even revealed Monday he’s going back to the short hairdo he rocked during his rookie year in Dallas for the occasion.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Get ready, Pats fans … a 1-2 punch of Zeke and Rhamondre Stevenson is coming!!
