Ezekiel Elliott Found Jerry Jones's 'Zeke Who?' Comment Disrespectful

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was not very happy with Jerry Jones's "Zeke who?" joke over the weekend, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on Monday.

According to Mortensen, Elliott's agent Rocky Arceneaux said neither he nor his client was amused by Jones's quip, which was made on Saturday after rookie Tony Pollard impressed during the Cowboys' preseason game against the Rams.

"I didn't think it was funny and neither did Zeke—we actually thought it was disrespectful," Arceneaux told ESPN.

Elliott is still training in Cabo San Lucas amid his ongoing contract holdout with the Cowboys, which began at the start of training camp.
