Ezekiel Elliott believes he can still be primary running back in return to Cowboys

Ezekiel Elliott's reunion with the Dallas Cowboys comes long after his days as a two-time rushing champion, presumably as part of a committee of running backs. The 2016 All-Pro isn't ready to settle for such a role just yet. 'I think I still am a dominant guy,' Elliott told reporters at a Cowboys charity event Wednesday night, a day after signing a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. 'I’ve got to go out there and prove that. That’s the motivation.

Understanding what he brings to the team, just the locker room alone, the culture he sets. A guy that does everything the right way.' Elliott spent last season as the backup to Rhamondre Stevenson with the Patriots but started the last five games when Stephenson was injured, finishing with a team-best 642 yards rushing but career lows in touchdowns and yards per carry .
