IRVING, Texas – A week after visiting Valley Ranch for the first time as a Dallas Cowboy, Ezekiel Elliott spent part of the noon hour Friday surrounded by cameras on the first day of rookie minicamp.
“Something I’ve got to get used to,” the Cowboys’ fourth overall draft pick said in front of the locker he's sharing with undrafted rookie cornerback Jeremiah McKinnon.
Elliott faced a bright spotlight for three years on an Ohio State team that won a national championship in his sophomore season. Now, on his first day of NFL practice, the 20-year-old running back now represents the world’s most visible sports franchise.
