Ezekiel Elliott's final play as a member of the Dallas Cowboys was at center.
He ranks third on the Cowboy's all-time rushing list behind Hall-of-Famers Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett and ranks fifth in scoring behind Smith, Dorsett and kickers Rafael Septien and Dan Bailey. Elliott eventuallywith $50 million guaranteed in 2019 after weeks of back-and-forth negotiations, jokes and tropical vacations.
But ever since he signed his new contract, Elliott's production decreased. He saw a career-low 248 touches in 2022 — perhaps because of the emergence of Tony Pollard — and finished with his fewest rushing yards in his career and tallied fewer than 1,000 total scrimmage yards for the first time in his career. Elliott did add 12 rushing touchdowns, though.
Elliott's departure clears the way for Tony Pollard, who was an ascendant talent before he broke out for his first 1,000-yard rushing season in 2022 and made the Pro Bowl.
