Through his first two seasons in the league, Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has been one of the most productive running backs in the game. A sizable chunk of this production has come the way of him having a highly formidable blocking in front of him in several Pro Bowl talents.
With that in mind, Elliott has decided to recently show the offensive line in Pro Bowlers Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Zach Martin his appreciation this offseason by taking them out on a fishing trip.
This isn't the first time that he has gone through a nice gesture for the offensive line as he previously bought them John Deere XTVs during his rookie campaign that each cost more than $16,000. Elliott has a clear realization of how important the work up front is to him and the team having success on the field as he has rushed for 2,614 yards and 22 touchdowns in the 25 games played in the regular season in his first two years.

This was just precisely the case for reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year Los Angeles Rams star Todd Gurley in the 2016 season where the porous play at the line didn't allow him to showcase his talent and ability like he was this past year. This hasn't been something that the Cowboys have had an issue with over the last few years.
Elliott could be in line for a huge season in 2018 where he could potentially lead the league in rushing while helping lead the team to a tremendous amount of success next campaign where he will figure to be a huge piece of the puzzle to the offensive game plan.
