The future burns brightly for Elliott and the Cowboys. But when it comes to formal attire at the NFL Draft, there’s not usually such a distinction between college players and NFL stars.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way”, he said. “I definitely don’t consider it a burden”. They landed the best skill position player in this draft.
Elliott has something of a head start.
Elliott averaged 6.7 yards per carry, had five 200-yard games and 22 100-yard games.
Well, there you have it that’s the direction I think the Cowboys may go later this evening. Elliott won four state titles in the span of three hours, taking firsts in the 100, 200, 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles.
Two years ago, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones desperately wanted to use a first-round pick to obtain quarterback Johnny Manziel.
The best expectations for the Cowboys’ pick and the bulk of Thursday night will be to expect the unexpected.
The Dallas Cowboys don’t have to wait long for their first round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, as they draft fourth overall in the first round. “You want Romo playing in all the games”. Elliott may be the only sure-thing, game-changing running back in the draft, and several teams are most likely waiting nervously to see what the Cowboys will do. DeMarco Murray took a large portion of that load off of him during the 2014 National Football League season, but Murray left in free agency last offseason. The Cowboys eventually released Randle.
“I would say I am a balanced guy”, Elliott said.
I think Fuller is exactly the type of CB that defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli would like for his defense. “I had to go out on the red carpet with the crop-top”. With Elliott along with quarterback Tony Romo and wide receiver Dez Bryant, they have their new Triplets. Dallas needs him to be consistent and to make big plays throughout the season.
Elliott arrived Friday with more fanfare than recent top picks by the Cowboys, and for good reason. “I’m a competitor and this is what I live for”. He handled it at Ohio State, where he rushed for 3,961 yards in two seasons as a starter. He holds the school record for rushing yards in consecutive seasons with 3,699 in 2014-15.

The Cowboys definitely need help on the defensive side of the ball, which may make Elliott a surprise selection for the Cowboys considering they already have three good running backs.
