Ezekiel Elliott’s Return to the Cowboys: Can He Recapture His Past Glory?

Elliott has been a crucial member of the Dallas Cowboys for eight years now, having been drafted as the fourth overall pick in 2016. Although he briefly left for the Patriots, he is now back with his hometown team. Despite concerns about his age and the wear and tear of playing at a high level, Elliott is being viewed as the potential RB1 for the Cowboys this season.

However, last year Elliott’s average yards per carry dropped to just under 3.5, which raises questions about his ability to perform at his previous level. The Cowboys did not draft any new running backs during the offseason, leaving Rico Dowdle as his main competition. While Elliott’s return may be exciting news for fans, it remains to be seen whether he will actually make a significant impact on the team’s success this season.

The question of whether Elliott can rewind the clock and elevate the team to greatness once again will only be answered over time. With expectations of going all-in this season, it seems that the Cowboys are turning back to their past glory days and relying on Elliott to lead them there once again. Only time will tell if this decision will pay off or if it will lead to disappointment for both Elliott and Cowboys fans alike.
