It appears that the recruiting efforts to bring Ezekiel Elliott to the Patriots are on.
Shortly after the Pro Bowl running back’s visit with the team in Foxborough ended on Saturday, Elliott was seen out to dinner with Mac Jones. The dinner between the Patriots’ quarterback and his possible future teammate took place at Mooo’s in the Seaport, Sports Illustrated’s Mike Fisher reported.
Elliott concluded his visit with the Patriots without a deal in place. However, there seems to be at least some optimism that a deal can be done. Both sides are expected to remain in touch, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
