During this offseason, much of the focus has been on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s contract negotiations. However, he recently had the opportunity to discuss another topic during a press conference. Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott were both part of the Cowboys’ 2016 draft class and spent seven seasons playing together before Elliott joined the Patriots in 2023. Now, Elliott has returned to Dallas after signing a new deal with the Cowboys, and Prescott is thrilled to have his former teammate back in the locker room.
Prescott expressed his excitement about reuniting with Elliott, highlighting their history and the strong bond they share both as brothers and teammates. He commended Elliott for the positive impact he has on the team’s culture and locker room environment, emphasizing that Elliott sets a great example for others to follow. With Elliott back in the fold, Prescott believes the team will benefit from his experience and leadership.
Elliott’s return to the Cowboys comes at a time when the running back group lacks depth and experience. Prescott believes that having Elliott back will benefit not only the team as a whole but also the younger players behind him. He praised Elliott for his work ethic and professionalism, noting that his approach to the game sets a high standard for everyone around him. If the Cowboys can capitalize on Elliott’s contributions on the field, it will be a positive outcome for the entire organization.
