Dallas Cowboys Ex Ezekiel Elliott Reveals 'Lucky' View of Coach Bill Belichick

FRISCO - Ezekiel Elliott will be the first to tell you that he has experienced a full and joyous NFL career, absent really only one thing - that elusive Super Bowl win. But the former Dallas Cowboys' two-time NFL rushing champ, who just ended his season in New England, is newly thankful for another pleasure.

“I feel very lucky to play for the best coach ever,” Elliott said, reflecting on what might be both the Patriots goodbye for the player and the coach.

Despite the Patriots finishing just 4-13, their worst mark in Belichick’s 24 years in charge, Elliott truly did find some happiness in Foxboro. Elliott signed a one-year deal with New England last offseason after being cut by Dallas, and the running back played in every game this year.

He ended up rushing for 642 yards and three touchdowns. He also caught 51 passes for 313 yards and two TDs.
