Through his first two years in the NFL, Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl running back Ezekiel Elliott has quickly proven to be one of the game's most dynamic players at his position.

Elliott has quickly risen to stardom as the centerpiece of the Cowboys offensive game plan that has seen him produce at an elite level. According to Todd Archer of ESPN, team owner Jerry Jones has voiced that he believes the 23-year-old wants to become of the greatest players that have ever played in the NFL.

“I do think Zeke wants to be great, not just for a year, not in the short term. I think he wants to be one of the great ones to play the game,” Jones said. ” I think he's a hardworking guy who knows what it takes, and I think it's a process. I think he continues to mature. As Jason said, he's taking a leadership role now. I expect him to really step up, I think, and have a really great year this year.”

There is no question that Elliott has the talent and ability on the field to put himself among the all-time greats as he has been beyond productive in his brief time in the NFL rushing for 2,614 yards and 22 touchdowns in first 26 games played in the regular season. He has proven to be a huge factor as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield.
