Especially when expectations are so high. This fact puts Zeke in the spotlight. Welcome to the Daily Blitz by DSP Media in partnership with CowboysSI.com. Ezekiel Elliott had a disappointing season in 2020, and the same can be said of the entire Dallas Cowboys club. Elliott failed to reach the 1,000-yard rushing mark for only the second time in his career and averaged just 4.0 yards per carry, also a career-low. Bleacher Report gave their list of one player on every NFL team who could disappoint in 2021, and on their list, Ezekiel Elliott was that player for the Dallas Cowboys. Their reasoning is based somewhat on his cap hit for 2021:  The bad news is that Elliot has endured a lot of wear and tear as a pro. He has carried the ball 1,413 times in five seasons while catching 241 passes. He's also led the league in rushing attempts twice.
