When Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott and the rest of the 2016 NFL rookie class headed out to Los Angeles for the NFLPA Rookie Premiere from May 19th-21st, they were beginning to get a lay of the league’s marketing prowess. Taking pictures for rookie cards and getting their Madden rating being just a couple of the items slated for their itineraries.

After putting on their team’s uniform for the first time, 120 Sports caught up with a few of them for a moment of “fun” regarding how they plan to pick up women. The responses ranged from humorous to cringe-worthy, but Elliott broke the mold with his unexpected answer.

Q [120 Sports]: If you’re out [here in LA] and you run across a beautiful lady, what kind of pick up line would you drop on them?

Elliott: “Hey look, I’m focused right now. I’m not worried about the ladies. I’m worried about getting my head in this playbook and getting ready to play.”

Not only did the reply catch the inquirer off guard, but it’s indicative of Elliott being already keyed in to the task of helping the Cowboys get back into the playoffs for 2016. There’s no doubt seeing a clip like this would put a huge smile on the faces of QB Tony Romo, TE Jason Witten, and head coach Jason Garrett; because it shows Elliott knows he’s in the league to pick up wins…and not random women.
