'Mean' Joe Green on Ezekiel Elliott's off-field issues: 'Don't take it for granted ... It can all go away'

Hall of Fame defensive tackle "Mean" Joe Greene recently spoke with NBC5 sports anchor Newy Scruggs about the Dallas Cowboys. Here are some highlights.

On Ezekiel Elliott's rookie season:

"Zeke, I knew he was going to be a star when I saw him take apart at Alabama his junior year. Maybe it was his sophomore year. The speed, the power, the quickness. He is a guy that to me is putting running back back into the spotlight in the National Football League. For a while we were thinking, just throw the football, take the run out of it.
