Darius Leonard calls Zeke the hardest player in the NFL to tackle

[Proof]

Was listening to today’s Pardon My Take podcast with him as a guest (Barry Sanders also which was an awesome interview) and they asked him who was the hardest person to tackle.
“From the running back position I’d definitely say Zeke. He runs behind his pads well and is really hard to bring down”

Derrick Henry says hi

 

[TRUTH87]

zeke is the type of player you go up to tackle and regret it.

Henry is the type of player you don’t even attempt to tackle

 

[DanTanna]

He actually said:

"Ezekiel Elliott is the hardest running-back to tackle within 9 yards of the LOS"

 

[glimmerman]

Nice complement. I wonder if he had tried to tackle henry.

 

[bandfan]

Unless you have ever tried to tackle either one of them I suggest you shut up....respectfully.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Nice complement. I wonder if he had tried to tackle henry.

Theyre in the same division.

I've seen some blades of grass have quite a bit of success. I like Zeke, but after his ridiculous contract it took fans coming down on him to get him to run hard again...

 

[Risen Star]

Only because he could never make contact with Pollard.

How fortunate are we that we get to diss a RB that clears 1k and 10tds on a “bad season”

That's our fans, all season every back on every other team was better.

 

[visionary]

Zeke will have a great year next year

1357 and 12 tds , yes he sux..its the narrative all season.30yards short of third in the legue..

its sad that fans like to ridicule our own star players so much and stand up others..im glad defenders and coaches from opponents do not think this way, zekes threat , hes game planned for and IMO best 3 down power back in the league..ie runs hard, blocks well, an can catch the ball..

he respected and feared by all but CZ..

another players give a compliment and cz shoots it down.. clowns

This guy used to punish us

 

[Aviano90]

Zeke is pretty good. I would like for him to be generational but I will settle for pretty good.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

This guy used to punish us

Our guys were Always scared to tackle this guy.

Yes sir. It was annoying

@Proof...the Cowboys RB League wide is seen SO much differently than on this board. Bad dude! HOF type dude...just hope the clown show gets it right and enables him to guide them to a chip like his HOF predecessors at his position from the Cowboys.

Henry's in his division.
