Ezekiel Elliott believes he can still carry the load at running back in return to Cowboys

Ezekiel Elliott’s reunion with the Dallas Cowboys comes long after his days as a two-time rushing champion, presumably as part of a committee of running backs.

The 2016 All-Pro isn’t ready to settle for such a role just yet.

“I think I still am a dominant guy,” Elliott told reporters at a Cowboys charity event Wednesday night, a day after signing a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. “I’ve got to go out there and prove that. That’s the motivation. I think you all know how I feel about competing and leaving it all out there for my team.
