Run, Zeke, Run

Ezekiel Elliott is an absolute beast on the field, amassing 1,735 rushing yards on 346 attempts accompanied with 15 touchdowns in 2016. Elliott’s rookie performance earned him All-Pro honors, a trip to the Pro Bowl, and the 2016 Offensive Player of the Year award, making him the premiere running back of the NFL.

Everything wasn’t peaches and cream for Elliott as he encountered legal issues by violating the personal conduct policy before the start of his rookie season. Accusations have been made by his ex-girlfriend on numerous occasions of domestic violence abuse in 2016.

After the NFL conducted a yearlong investigation, they decided not to charge Elliot but to suspend him for six games for the 2017 season. In mid-August, Elliot appealed the suspension, but it was later upheld by an NFL arbitrator.

Cowboys fans were panicking, but luckily a federal judge came to the rescue by granting a request for injunction by the NFL Players Association, putting the suspension on hold.

What does this mean for the Cowboys? Zeke “The Beast” will be running all over defenses this season.
