It should be about this team, and it should be about these guys. It should be about our relationship. It shouldn’t be about records. – Ezekiel Elliott
I think I’m a guy who’s going to work and work hard from Day 1, and I think I’m a guy who brings a lot of versatility to the position. – Ezekiel Elliott
Honestly, the type of runner I am, I’m a physical guy, and I try to set the tone early in the game, so you’re going to see it a lot in the first and second quarter. – Ezekiel Elliott
If we go out there, and we play well and win football games, all the good stuff will come with it. It’s not my job to worry about something I can’t control. – Ezekiel Elliott
I am tired of hearing about Coach Harbaugh; I think he needs to get in check with reality because, at the end of the day, you can’t talk smack about a rivalry when you haven’t won a rivalry game. You got to win ballgames to be able to talk behind it. – Ezekiel Elliott
This is a physical game, and that’s how you have to play. When you do that, the defense eventually gets tired of tackling you. – Ezekiel Elliott
I don’t think, as a player, I have a weakness on the field. I’ve done a great job of becoming good at everything, so I think that’s what separates me. – Ezekiel Elliott
Honestly, when I’m out there, I really don’t even think about them as guys with names. I look at them as numbers. – Ezekiel Elliott
I think I probably have one of the easiest jobs in America. I get to run behind the best O-line in America. – Ezekiel Elliott
You can’t go out and press. That’s when you’re going to make mistakes. Just act like you’ve done it before. – Ezekiel Elliott
The money between the first pick and the 10th pick – that’s a big difference! That’s like a $10-million-dollar difference. – Ezekiel Elliott
I feel blessed. All the great running backs that have come through Ohio State – Archie Griffin, Eddie George, Beanie Wells – I’m happy that I was able to carry on that lineage this season. – Ezekiel Elliott
I think actually it’s kind of sad because something I looked forward to just getting to the NFL growing up was just being able to have more fun, the rules loosen up, being able to celebrate. – Ezekiel Elliott
Once you make that first mistake, it kind of clears up everything, and everything can come to you. – Ezekiel Elliott
You can’t win every game, so I’ve just got to get back to work and get better next week. – Ezekiel Elliott
I hate to lose more than I love winning, and I’m coming to Dallas to win a Super Bowl. – Ezekiel Elliott
It would be special, just to know I had the best rookie season a running back has had in this league, especially a record that’s been however old it is. – Ezekiel Elliott
When you let those defensive backs know that you’re a physical player, they don’t really want to tackle. That’s it. That’s why you see me get a hurdle every game. Those guys don’t want to tackle me when I get to the second level. – Ezekiel Elliott
You definitely have to think of the perception of things before you actually do certain things. It may not seem like it’s a big deal to you yourself, but there’s a bigger picture. – Ezekiel Elliott
I’m just trying to go out each week and get better. I just have to be patient, and it’s going to happen. – Ezekiel Elliott
We should be able to have a little more fun. I think it’s entertainment to the fans. – Ezekiel Elliott
