IRVING, Texas -- On one of the very first drills Ezekiel Elliott went through with the Dallas Cowboys at Friday’s minicamp, he fell to the ground.
Running backs coach Gary Brown wasn’t afraid to admit the worst went through his mind after the Cowboys’ first-round pick slipped while making a cut through a zigzag drill.
“We don’t need that,” Brown said. “That’s why I told him to slow down a little bit.”
That was about the only down moment from Elliott’s first day. All eyes were on Elliott during the 90-minute practice.
