Ezekiel Elliott jokes with a fan about his year-long breakup with the Dallas Cowboys

Ezekiel Elliott jokes with a fan about his year-long breakup with the Dallas Cowboys

Ezekiel Elliott is back with the Dallas Cowboys and seems to be enjoying every minute of it.

Zeke has been spending a lot of time with fans after practices during training camp and that was the case again on Monday. He even showed off his sense of humor while signing autographs and poking fun at the Cowboys.

A fan who asked Elliott to autograph a sign told him he had done so a while ago but was unable to deliver it to Zeke, and said, “You left us.” Elliott hilariously responded by saying, “I didn’t leave, I got kicked out.”

Elliott was released before the 2023 season due to salary cap concerns. He spent one season with the New England Patriots before returning to Dallas this offseason.

Elliott may no longer be the superstar he was early in his career, but he’s still a powerful runner who rarely loses yards. That was the case in 2022, when he scored 12 touchdowns for the Cowboys.

That means he has 68 touchdowns as a member of the Cowboys, which is just four behind Tony Dorsett for second in team history. Elliott could surpass that number this season, which would help cement him as one of the best running backs the star has ever carried.
