I know its against inferior talent, but isnt that what Dallas' O Line makes the NFL defenses look like. Darius never came on the World stage with a corny half shirt nor did he pull a womens top down.
I know I know hes a Cowboy with 1600 yds on his resume.
But that cheesy smile is kind of annoying. Hes got intitlement written all across it.
1 season greetness followed with those shenanigans .

Also, Elliott was the most complete back that's come out in the draft in several years. It was his talent COMBINED with the offensive line that made for such a great season.
Oh and as much as I liked Darius Jackson as a developmental player....you're comparing Darius Jackson to Ezekiel Elliott?! The guy who is in a RB battle with the Browns?
By the way, Ramsey is better than Elliott right now? He improved over the course of his rookie season and has a bright future but give me the guy who fits our offense perfectly and loves to run all day for 1600 yards and 15 Tds over the guy with 2 ints.
In addition, you dislike him because you don't like his smile? Or that he is being a dumb 21 year old kid who hasn't broken the law? The stories you've seen referred to as "shenanigans" were overblown and proved to be nothing. If he has a wacky "feed me" celebration then he's earned it.
And yes, you are right, that video was for fun, he can't use his celebration for fun? He wasn't going to do anything else in the video. Each player did something they were known for.
You think he epitomizes today's youth? As a millennial, I am proud to say that the perception that our generation is entitled is wrong. I've spent the majority of my life around peers who care deeply about their future and the world around them and want to do good.
As far as Zeke's entitlement, here's a quote from him, "When you're used to competing at a high level every week, you have no choice but to grow up fast. I mean, you grow up fast or you get left behind. "
Also, this quote:
When I got to Ohio state, I was a skinny 17 year old with a team of a bunch of grown men. I was trying to figure out how I’m going to separate myself from these guys who were bigger, faster and stronger than me and I was like, man the only thing I can do is I’ve got work harder than them and do what they don’t want to do. At that point I decided I was going to become the best blocking back in America and that’s what I did.
And this quote from his RB's coach at Ohio State:
What I remember sitting down and talking to that family in the recruiting process was the admiration and love and respect they had for each other,” says Alford. “That shows up quickly when you sit in a young man’s home. It might just be a gesture of mom slapping her son on the knee, just patting him on the knee when they are talking or when they sit down and they have a whole room they can sit in but they all sit down scrunched up against each other all on one couch. Things like that show up.
On one last note, Zeke is a Cowboy, Ramsey is not. Done.
