The hype beast surrounding Cowboys’ rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott is a leviathan. It will be difficult for him to match production to expectation in 2016; as some attempt to fit him for a gold jacket before a single regular season snap. Occasionally, the public gets a glimpse of what the fuss is all about.

For his part, though, Elliott has been both humble and hard-working as he is focused on helping Dallas get back to winning; and has apparently tuned out the noise.

When videos leak, such as the one below from Cowboys’ minicamp, it becomes a bit more understandable why the expectations surrounding Elliott are as high as they are.

As Elliott takes the handoff, the blocking lanes developing quickly is half the battle. The other half is how rapidly he bursts into the lane. There is no hesitation or wasted motion. Elliott finishes it off by throwing high beams in the eyes of defensive back Byron Jones, who is left grasping air.

As Jones and TE Jason Witten square off in practice leading to heated exchanges, Elliott doesn’t need to say a word. He just put the most athletic player in the franchise on skates. With the injury to RB Darren McFadden, the starting job is now Elliott’s and if he looks this good at the NFL level once the pads are on…

…look out world.
