It just sucks that EZE was here and gone in what seemed like a flash. I remember how torn this kid was when he choose Ohio State but I knew at the time that he was going to be special wherever he landed and he certainly was that.

One more year would have been awesome but all good things do come to an end. He's going to be awesome in the NFL if he can stay healthy.

The Versatility of Ezekiel Elliott Makes Him the Top Running Back in the NFL Draft

Ezekiel Elliott left Ohio State not only as one of the best rushers in the programs’s illustrious history, but as one of the best running back blockers in the nation.

Buckeye head coach Urban Meyer called Elliott the best blocking back he had ever worked with and Elliott’s offensive linemen teammates agreed with their coach’s assessment. But the running back didn’t just wake up one day to find he was a good blocker; it started back when he was seven-years old.

“When I first started playing football I actually was a fullback so that was my first job,” Elliott said on Thursday at the NFL Combine. “My first job was to block.”

Although Elliott moved to running back the next year and never looked back, the blocking he learned at that young age stuck with him through his high school career and all the way from St. Louis to Columbus.

“When I got to Ohio State, I realized I wasn’t going to be the biggest or the fastest guy,” he said. “I was only 17 playing with a bunch of 22-, 21-year old guys, so I was trying something that would set me apart and that thing I realized was just effort. Not everyone’s willing to go out there and play with a lot of effort and it’s another thing that running backs aren’t really willing to do. So that’s a part of my game I really made it important to me to become very good at.”

The only question left for Zeke is if he’s looked into the NFL’s crop top policy?

“I don’t think the NFL’s open to crop tops,” he answered with a laugh.

Looks like Elliott will have to stick with the full-length jersey, at least for now.
