RB Ezekiel Elliott (All B1G, All-American, National Champion, Pro Bowl, All Pro, Dallas Cowboys)

IMO, I don't see the Eddie comparison other than how they wear their jerseys. I don't recall Eddie catching the ball that much, and I don't remember EzE running upright, he seemed to be squaring his shoulder and leaning forward on his runs.

Eddie had 47 catches during his Heisman season.

That he has been. But he's also been a stud running most of the season. I figure it was probably a matter of they weren't thrilled with his preparation for IL.

He was injured.

Per UFM, Samuel was given the start due to his preparation that week but he did not mention EzE. I don't think it was an indictment on Ezekiel's preparation rather than a praise of Samuel's hard work but I could be wrong.

If Zeke went to Missouri.. he'd be an outstanding RB and everyone in Missouri would know of him
but he decided to come to the Buckeyes
and everyone in the country and NFL knows him and that he's an outstanding RB

We'll see. If he comes out this week @ Minny with bare abs then we have something special.

If you're good, no matter where you are people throughout the nation would know your name. Sheldon Richardson seemed to make quite the name for himself at Mizzou... But I'm glad EzE is a Buckeye

How many games has Missouri been on Gameday... with primetime national broadcast?

Still doesn't mean if they had a very talented player he wouldn't be known. Stefon Diggs is known throughout the nation and Maryland is hardly on Gameday. Being on Gameday doesn't mean much as far as going to the NFL, if you're good the NFL will find you

Zeke's most impressive game to date...

 

[RobotParty]

Congrats to Zeke on eclipsing the 1000 all-purpose yard mark for the season on Saturday. (863 rushing, 143 receiving)

Projections through the regular season:

1,151 rushing, 191 receiving

It's been a heck of a year for a guy sharing carries with a dual-threat QB and another dynamic RB.

 

[WhoDeyForever]

Rewatching game from Saturday (Quite frankly, I can't get enough of it)

Paying more attention to EzE , reminds me a lot of Clarett IMO.

Someone made that comparison to me yesterday. I hadn't considered it to be honest, now I'm itching to rewatch the game and check it out.

Been saying it since the FAMU game last year. I think it has something to do with the way his legs look when he runs.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

I made a comment a while back that was the same thing. Not sure what it is.
