Was Ezekiel Elliott’s poor season a fluke or something more?

Last season was, by far, the worst of Ezekiel Elliott‘s five-year NFL career. The Dallas Cowboys‘ running back posted career-lows in rushing yards (979), yards per carry (4.0), average rushing yards per game (65.3), and total touchdowns (8).

Elliott finish 2020 ranked outside the top ten of the league’s best running backs, ranking 11th in total rushing yards. Unfortunately, Zeke is tied for second with the New Orleans Saints’ Alvin Kamara when it comes to the top salaries for NFL running backs, averaging $15 million per year.
