Ezekiel Elliott will auction customized cleats for domestic violence awareness
Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott is looking to improve his draft stock at the National Football League scouting combine, and he will do it in style. However, most NFL Draft experts consider Elliott to be the top running back in the class. Elliott surely will join that club.
There’s the best at your position in a particular year. “I was emotional, but I think what teams want is a competitor, and that’s what I am and that’s where it all came from”. He taught me how to anticipate instead just off of reactions off of instinct.
His effort has earned him praise from teammates, and fellow projected first-rounder Taylor Decker wasn’t shy about dishing out praise to Elliott when asked about him during his media interview in Indianapolis.
The former was Herculean during his rookie season with the St. Louis Rams and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year while running for 1,106 yards-even after recovering from a torn ACL.
Elliott doesn’t seem too fazed by the possibility of slipping out of the first round. “He’s not a sure thing, but you have a great idea what you’re getting with him”.
The running backs, offensive linemen and special teams players will be competing in a number of drills. “And that’s how I approach every day since I’ve been training, just trying to get better every day and get ready to go out and compete”.
I would tell you that they’re not going to be drafting at No. 4 again in the future, and they’ve got a 36-year-old quarterback that has not fininshed a season in three years, and if they think there’s a franchise quarterback out there at No. 4 and he’s available?
By wowing scouts with his blazing speed and power (25 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press) Marshall stole the spotlight from the higher rated backs of the 2016 draft. “I’m a guy that can play three downs”.
Brugler doesn’t think Elliott is as athletically dynamic as Gurley, but he is well-rounded.
Elliott ran for more than 1,800 yards in each of his final seasons at Ohio State, with 41 total touchdowns.
But Melvin Gordon went 15th and was unimpressive. And the Browns don’t need to be reminded about how much of a bust Richardson was at No. 3. But depending on how active the team is in free agency and what holes they can plug in that market, Elliott could wind up staring at them when they are on the clock with the 10th pick.
“I think there are other positions that people might value a little bit more”, Polian said. And if I needed one, I might do it earlier than that. “But from 10 on down, I would not be afraid to pull the trigger”.
