"Needless to say, it was quite a long time ago, and yet that draft night debate of Zeke vs. Jalen Ramsey feels like yesterday. Elliott is only 30 years old, but barring a pretty shocking comeback, his career is all but over in the NFL. Nine years in the league, eight in Dallas, and over 9,100 rushing yards; that's quite the run, even if we all expected him to last longer."
"If a Cowboys running back is ever able to even contend with Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith for the top spot in franchise history at the position, they'd be considered a top-five running back in the NFL's history. Smith played 13 years in Dallas, made four All-Pro teams, won three Super Bowls, was the league's MVP in 1993, and is still the NFL's all-time leading rusher. He is clearly the undisputed best running back in both the Cowboys' and the NFL's history."
Ezekiel Elliott missed his first NFL season since 2015, concluding a nine-year career with more than 9,100 rushing yards and eight seasons in Dallas. Elliott is 30 years old and unlikely to mount a full comeback. The franchise running back ranking places Emmitt Smith as the undisputed No. 1 in Cowboys and NFL history, citing Smith's 13 Dallas seasons, four All-Pro selections, three Super Bowl wins, and 1993 MVP. Tony Dorsett remains No. 2, a Hall of Famer who holds the 99-yard rushing record and leads Elliott by a few thousand yards and one rushing touchdown.
