Ezekiel Elliott’s former Cowboys coach believes he’ll be a ‘good fit’ for Patriots

Despite a dip in production during the 2022 season, Ezekiel Elliott’s former head coach in Dallas believes the 28-year-old running back has found a good landing spot with the Patriots.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, who oversaw Elliott during his final three seasons in Dallas, thinks that the former franchise back will slot in well with Bill Belichick and Bill O’Brien’s gameplan in Foxborough.
