FRISCO, Texas (AP) Ezekiel Elliott plopped a cowboy hat on his head and flashed a wide smile that made him look like someone closing in on a few weeks of vacation.
”Feel like a real cowboy,” the star Dallas running back said after the second-to-last offseason practice Wednesday. ”Do I look the part?”
Hard to say with the beard, but he looked the part in what mattered last year: NFL rushing champion as a rookie fourth overall draft pick. Now the question is the encore, and the offseason handling of a known commodity at a position predisposed to short careers.
