Can Dalvin Cook Get On Ezekiel Elliott's Level

... NFL teams that he can be their version of Ezekiel Elliott. Ezekiel Elliott lifted the bar for rookie running backs after his incredible 2016 season, and now it's up to this year's class of rookie RBs to live up to those standards. Chris Burke. Thursday March 2 nd, 2017. INDIANAPOLIS — The running backs enduring the NFL draft process now are finding that Ezekiel Elliott’s immediate success has created both pros and cons for this class. On one hand, Elliott in particular showed the value of drafting a running back in the top five (if the fit makes sense, of course)—the Cowboys’ rookie pushed for MVP and Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, while helping Dallas claim the NFC’s top playoff seed. But on the other hand, the 2017 class now will be viewed under the Elliott lens. Unless a player can make that type of impact out of the gate, what’s the point of taking him in the top 10. Dalvin Cook is focused on the positives. “What Zeke did paved the way for us,” Cook said Thursday, during his combine press conference. “Zeke did a great job catching the ball out of the backfield, ...

Joe Mixon Delivers Ezekiel Elliott-level Testing Numbers At Oklahoma Pro Day

... a lot of things in life and what you do from whatever mistake, you can’t take anything back. At the end of the day, you can only learn from what you did.”. Mixon was outstanding during the positional drills, especially as a pass-catcher. He showed off fluid strides, soft hands and smooth body control to catch-and-run in one motion, displaying why some feel his receiving talent is his best asset. Mixon struggled during punt return drills, struggling to locate, but did improve with added reps. A true wild card in terms of draft projection, Mixon has first-round talent, but he won’t be on every draft board and teams will feel differently about where his value on draft weekend. At this point, Mixon only has one expectation: “just to be drafted.”. More from Oklahoma’s pro day. Mixon had the buzz entering the day, but it was linebacker Jordan Evans who had scouts talking after the workout. At 6-foot-3 and 232 pounds, he ran his 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds, adding excellent numbers in ...

Lailah Elliott, Zeke’s Sister, Commits To Ohio State Track And Field

... Gray in both athletics and academics. Ohio State baseball has second hardest strength of schedule. Early Friday morning, a new batch of baseball rankings came out via Boyd’s World. While the Buckeyes hold a 5-6 record to begin the season, it should also be noted that they have the second hardest strength of schedule on the field. The hardest strength of schedule belongs to fellow Big Ten conference member Nebraska, who also boasts a 5-6 overall record. In terms of overall rankings, the highest rated Big Ten squad belongs to the Michigan State Spartans — who come in at No. 16. The second highest ranked squad in the B 1 G is Michigan, slipping into the top 25 at the 23 rd spot. Ohio State shows up at No. 57 on the overall ranking list.

Coming into the game, FGCU is 12-2 overall and holds is ranked No. 20. If Florida Gulf Coast sounds familiar, it’s because ...

Nothing To Ezekiel Elliott Domestic Violence Investigation

... the NFL had found something. “There is just nothing,” Jones said. “I know I would have heard about it. I would have the information if there were something. I know that.”. It’s surprising that Jones would say that, because if the NFL is conducting its investigations properly, then interested parties like the owner of a team whose player is being investigated shouldn’t be given any information until the investigation concludes. Jones seems to be suggesting that the NFL would have already told him, while the investigation is ongoing, if the investigation had yielded anything of concern about Elliott. If that’s the case, that suggests that the NFL’s investigations aren’t as independent as they should be. Share this. blessedunliketherest says. Mar 6, 2017 8:34 AM. Nice tongue in cheek comment there at the end…”that suggests that the NFL’s ...

Gop Health Care, Fewer Luggage Woes, Ezekiel Elliott

... Through a combination of new technologies that allow bags to be tracked in nearly real-time and a renewed focus on the basics of handling luggage, airlines last year reported the lowest rate of mishandled bags — those lost, damaged or delayed — since the Department of Transportation began keeping track in 1987. The rise of baggage fees also has led passengers to check fewer bags or stick to a single carry-on, leaving fewer bags for airlines to mishandle on a per-passenger basis. Also, carriers  grounded more than 5,300 trips ahead of a winter storm that threatens to batter the Northeast United States.

Ezekiel Elliott Effect Being Felt In This Year's Running Back Class

... mean he won't blow talent evaluators away with a great performance. (0:57). Covered NFL since 1997, Cowboys since 2003. Previously covered Bengals and Dolphins. Lives in Dallas area with his wife and two children. INDIANAPOLIS - If he didn’t come out after his junior season at Ohio State, Ezekiel Elliott would be spending this week in Indianapolis at the NFL scouting combine, working to impress teams and scouts and making a strong running back class even stronger. Elliott is either enjoying the fruits of his rookie success with the Dallas Cowboys - after having led the NFL in rushing in 2016 - or preparing for his second season with the Cowboys or both, but there is an Elliott effect being felt in this year’s draft. Before Elliott’s success as the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, running backs were mostly viewed as difficult pieces to ...

Ezekiel Elliott Needs A Common Sense Coach

... of celebrities and sports stars. The following facts need to be read and remembered. Ohio police investigated Thompson’s allegations and in September 2016 decided Elliott would not be charged with any crime. The city attorney of Columbus cited “conflicting and inconsistent information” as a reason not to pursue charges. Included in the legal documentation that was later released was a text message from Elliott’s accuser that encouraged lying to the police. As long as the NFL’s investigation remains open, Elliott could still face punishment. Legal charges do not have to be filed for commissioner Roger Goodell and league investigators to hand down a suspension. “I’m a target, that’s what I’ve realized from all of this,” Elliott told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in September. “I’ve got to conduct myself that way so I can not have any distractions and I can just focus on ball.”. His actions tell a different ...

The Nfl's Long-lasting Ezekiel Elliott Investigation 'smacks' Of This, Which Is Unfair

... get the respect he deserves as a top receiver? Guys like Julio Jones, Antonio Brown and Amari Cooper live in more pass-happy offenses and seem to get more buzz. Moore: Yes. But you have to remember, Bryant has missed 10 games the last two seasons due to injury. He failed to rank in the top 50 in the NFL in receptions or yardage last season. I'd argue the buzz surrounding Julio Jones and Antonio Brown is justified and is not limited to the fact they are in pass-happy offenses. They maximize their opportunities and consistently put up high numbers. The buzz surrounding them is justified but in no way minimizes what Bryant has done. Bryant is still considered one of the league's elite receivers. Defensive coordinators still scheme to take him out of games and that creates opportunities for his ...
