Elite is a relative term to contemporary competition. Dak would be elite if every other QB was Jamarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf. Zeke is head and shoulders above nearly all other RBs currently playing in the NFL and many think he’s #1, 2, or 3 and I’d suggest there’s a significant drop off after those top RBs kinda like I’d say there’s a drop off after Brady, Brees, and Rodgers at QB. Therefore, I’d argue Zeke is by definition an “elite” RB in the current NFL.
His brain and off field behavior.... may be far more average however.
