Part two of our NFC East compares and ranks the running backs. As seen below, the NFC East was relatively meager in the rushing department until Dallas drafted Zeke last season and the Eagles signed LeGarrette Blount last week.
The rushing king of the NFC East is clearly Ezekiel Elliott. He led the league in rushing last year and this year will be no different. He is a playmaker with great vision and speed and he will probably elevate his play this year in the receiving game. He is already putting himself in the picture of great running backs in Cowboys history and he will continue to get better as he enters his sophomore year.
