34. Ezekiel Elliot

Ezekiel Elliott had a really good run with the Dallas Cowboys, lasting eight years, and at one time, was considered one of the best Running Backs in the game.

The fourth overall pick in the 2016 Draft, Elliott was an All-Rookie and would win the Rushing Title with 1,631 Yards from the ground, and he would also punch the ball into the end zone 15 times.  Elliott won the Rushing Title again in 2018 with 1,434 Yards, and in the four seasons he has played, he has always finished in the top ten in that stat. 

Elliott is also a receiving threat, and on three occasions (2016, 2018 & 2019), he has finished second in both Yards from Scrimmage and All-Purpose Yards.  Zeke slowed down in later years, and hs was released after the 2022 Season.  With the Cowboys, Elliott had over 10,000 Yards From Scrimmage with an impressive 80 Touchdowns.
