Ezekiel Elliott is currently leading the NFL in rushing, and he's on pace to set the rookie rushing record. He's played a critical role in the Dallas Cowboys starting 5-1.

Irvin went on, giving background to that interesting statement:

“He walks up and down that sideline, when he's giving everyone fives, you hear what he says? ‘Physical! Let's by physical! We're gonna be physical!'
