Ezekiel Elliott got his offensive linemen some new wheels for Christmas
Published:
If you’ve listened to Ezekiel Elliott talk about his performance this year, you’ve probably heard him rave about his offensive line.
He even went as far as to say in the preseason that he had “the easiest job in America” because of how good they were.
Well, Elliott is within striking distance of Eric Dickerson’s rookie rushing record. And for that, he knows, he has his offensive line to thank.
So naturally, Elliott went big for their Christmas gifts.
He got each of them a John Deere UTV (those start at around $8,000 a pop):

Elliott might be on a rookie contract, but he obviously isn’t skimping when it comes to rewarding his guys up front.
And if his rookie season was any indication, those gifts will only get better as Elliott’s star grows in Dallas.
