Former Ohio State Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott is hoping to make an early impact with the Dallas Cowboys, who selected him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Elliott got his first chance to impress the coaches when the team’s rookie mini-camp opened, but it seems as though he may have been a little too eager to get back out on the field.
According to Cowboys running backs’ coach Gary Brown, Elliott slipped during a zig-zag drill which caused a moment of panic for the staff.
