VIDEO: Ezekiel Elliott believes there’s an NFL team that’s ‘in love with him’
Published:
Ezekiel Elliott is a three-down back who possesses the ability to pass-block, run-block and do anything else asked of him. He’s been compared to Adrian Peterson and Emmitt Smith by some during the pre-draft evaluation process.
What’s not to love?
There are plenty of teams that wouldn’t mind landing the consensus No. 1 running back in the draft. Elliott was asked about his possible suitors during an appearance on the “Dan Patrick Show” on Tuesday.
Here’s who Elliott feels is in love with him:
Interestingly enough, the Bears are at No. 11 and already have former Michigan State star Jeremy Langford. The likelihood of Elliott being available at that spot isn’t too likely, and even if he was, does that mean the Bears would invest their top pick in him when they have other major needs?
And Miami sits two spots behind Chicago at No. 13. Perhaps the Dolphins would be interested in continuing the draft trend and trading up to No. 3 to make sure they got Elliott.
Where will the former Buckeye end up? Luckily we’ll finally find out in the next two days.
