People around football are expecting great things out of rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott. It's not just because he was taken fourth overall by the Dallas Cowboys, rather he fell into one of the best situations a running back of any caliber could be in—running behind a great offensive line.

It appears Elliott knows just how fortunate he is, too.
In his final two seasons at Ohio State, Elliott averaged over 1,800 rushing yards and amassed 41 touchdowns with 6.6 yards per carry.
The Cowboys had the ninth-best rushing attack in the NFL in 2015 (including a sixth-best 4.6 yards per carry), according to Pro-Football Reference, despite not having a bonafide star in the stables.
Dallas' offensive helped oft-injured Darren McFadden post the second 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. If they can do that for McFadden, just imagine what Elliott can do with the same personnel.
