On Tuesday, veteran running back Ezekiel Elliott flew to New England to sign a one-year free agency contract with the Patriots. Later that same day, he boarded a flight with his new teammates for joint practices with the Packers in Green Bay. Less than 24 hours after that, he took the practice field in his new No. 15 jersey for the first time. On Saturday, he might play in his first game as a Patriot.
Needless to say, Elliott is in the middle of a rather busy week. Amid it all, however, he has been able to already leave his mark on the New England running back room.
