A kernel of truth exists in every joke. Otherwise, the joke wouldn't be funny.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones playfully responded, "Zeke who?" when reporters asked him about Ezekiel Elliott's status Saturday after Dallas' 14-10 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Jones' tongue-in-cheek comment came after the team's fourth-round rookie running back, Tony Pollard, averaged 8.4 yards per carry and scored a 14-yard touchdown in his second taste of NFL action. Through two preseason contests, this year's 128th overall pick has averaged 6.7 yards per touch.
