Modesty doesn't win championships. The Dallas Cowboys have a big year ahead of them, and they'll need a lot out of Ezekiel Elliott if they want to repeat as NFC East champions.

At least one thing is for certain, and that is that Elliott doesn't lack confidence in himself.

At a recent charity event hosted by Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller, Elliott showed off a massive tattoo of himself that he got on his leg, per TMZ Sports.

Whatever you think of him having his own face inked, it's a pretty sick tattoo and you should check it out. The image depicts Zeke as a zombie with a crown atop his head.

All jokes aside, the Cowboys really do have a big year coming up. Jason Garrett is heading into the final year of his contract, and will be coaching for his job.

Elliott has one more year on his rookie deal, plus the fifth-year option that the Cowboys will certainly exercise. He'll be hoping for a huge extension after this year, so the 2019 season is of massive importance to him financially.

Thanks to his suspension in 2017, Elliott has only played two full seasons. In each of those two seasons, he has led the NFL in rushing. Last year he led the league in carries, toting the ball an eye-popping 304 times.

The Cowboys have indicated they want to preserve Elliott long term, and could seek to cut back on his workload a bit next season.
