RB Ezekiel Elliott (All B1G, All-American, National Champion, Pro Bowl, All Pro, New England Patriots)



The NFL policy manual, distributed annually around the league, states: "Please note that public criticism by players or club employees of game officials or officiating is prohibited and is subject to fines and/or suspensions."

The NFL threw yellow flags on Rams linebacker Clay Matthews, Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield and Lions safety Tracy Walker, fining each $12,500 for criticizing officials.

Needless to say, complaining about the officiating to the media is not something the NFL front office appreciates. However, even if fined, $12,500 is just "chump change" to someone making ≈ $10M a year.

BOWL GAME BALLERS. Legends are made in the postseason, and a couple of Buckeyes had such iconic games they cracked The Athletic's list of the top-25 bowl game performances of all time.

8. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State

Game: 2015 Sugar Bowl

Elliott had one of the greatest runs of performances in college football history, with 220 yards in the Big Ten title game and 246 yards in the national championship. In between, he dominated the vaunted Alabama defense, running 20 times for 230 yards and two touchdowns in a 42-35 win in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

His night is best remembered for a fourth-quarter dagger: an 85-yard run through the Alabama defense to put the Buckeyes up by 14 with 3:24 left. He’s still the only player to rush for 200 yards against the Crimson Tide in Nick Saban’s 15 seasons.
