Ezekiel Elliott emerged as arguably the best running back in the NFL under Jason Garrett. Faced with the first coaching change of his career, though, Elliott seems optimistic about the Mike McCarthy era taking the Cowboys to new heights.

"I think it will be weird, something that I'm not used to," Elliott said, per Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. "But change is hard, but sometimes good. Sometimes you need change. We'll see what we have going for us."

The Cowboys fired Garrett earlier this month after he spent a decade at the helm, leading the franchise to three division championships.
