Ezekiel Elliott: Thinking back on his best moments with the Dallas Cowboys

The Ezekiel Elliott era is officially over in Dallas. And what a ride it was. The Dallas Cowboys parted ways with one of the greatest running backs in their history on Wednesday.

Zeke’s release is classed as Post June 1st which means that the Cowboys will save over $11 Million on next year’s salary cap.

He leaves the team third in all-time rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, and total touchdowns. Behind only Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith in both categories.

Elliott has played a pivotal part in the success of the Dak Prescott era and in the process became the most revered player in the Cowboys’ locker room.

Fans watched as Zeke not only developed as a player but grew as an individual and a person.

He had a connection with fans that only the likes of Dez Bryant can boast of.

The Cowboys’ offense literally ran through Ezekiel Elliott. Feed Zeke was the mantra as he ran for two NFL rushing titles and three pro bowls.

Regardless of your thoughts on his diminishing stat lines the last few years, there’s no denying Elliott’s impact on this franchise.

Let’s take a look at some of his most memorable moments as a Dallas Cowboy.
