As First Pads Practice Nears, Elliott “Excited To Get Out There And Compete”

OXNARD, Calif. – Like all rookies, Ezekiel Elliott doesn’t have the Cowboys star on his helmet yet.

Two days into training camp this summer, he’s ready to earn it – and help the team win games this fall.

“Back at Ohio State we had to do something like that,” he said. “We started out camp with a black stripe on our helmet and throughout camp we had to prove ourselves. It’s kind of the same type of initiation. We’ve got to come out and prove ourselves to the team.”

Elliott doesn’t have average rookie expectations.
