Tony Dorsett, Emmitt Smith have a message for Zeke: Stop hurdling!

The Dallas Cowboys’ Hall of Fame running backs love what they have seen from Ezekiel Elliott … aside from one thing. They want the team’s newest running back sensation to stop hurdling defenders.

“He better stop that. He better stop that. He better stop that,” Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett said. “That’s one thing that I don’t like. When you get airborne, you’re at the mercy of the hit, and sometimes you can’t protect yourself. I think as he gets older he may take that out of his repertoire. He needs to stop that. That scares me every time he gets airborne.
