Ezekiel Elliott learning to handle NFL scrutiny, defenses

FRISCO, Texas -- This is not how Ezekiel Elliott envisioned the start of his NFL career.

Coach Jason Garrett benched the fourth pick of the draft for the last six minutes after he fumbled for the second time in five carries during the second half Sunday against Washington.

Social media is already filled with folks calling him a bust. A host of others are calling for backup Alfred Morris to have a bigger role in the offense.

Well, that's not happening. At least, it's not happening anytime soon.

Elliott represents the future just like Dak Prescott.
