Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott thinks his rookie year could’ve been better
Ezekiel Elliott led the NFL in rushing yards last season as a rookie for the Dallas Cowboys, but he’s certainly not resting on his laurels.
In fact, the second-year running back believes he “left a lot of yards on the field†last season and is working hard to improve his craft heading into 2017.
“I think there is big room for improvement, being more comfortable, being able to anticipate more,†Elliott said via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. “That’s what I’m working on this offseason.â€
Elliott rushed for 1,631 yards last season. Given his talents, Dallas’ otherworldly offensive line and his drive to succeed, it’s not crazy to think he could threaten the 2,000-yard mark.
When asked about his personal goal, however, Elliott said he just wants to “win games.â€
Though, it’s pointing out that Elliott’s success will in large part result in Dallas’ success. It’s no wonder the ‘Boys intend in increasing his workload this upcoming season.
If he can build on last year’s tremendous rookie campaign, then the Cowboys will have a chance to to big things as a team.
