Ezekiel Elliott sees and hears the disrespect thrown on his name.

Despite being maybe the most dominant running back in the league, one NFL offensive coach deemed it necessary to rank Elliott as the 11th best running back in the league and also throw slander on his game. Zeke responded to that last week.

Whoever that is, is faded lol https://t.co/mCqdYv1U2a

That disrespect combined with other people talking about him made the Cowboys bruiser take to Twitter on Thursday and call out the media to put some respect on his name.

There are a lot of great backs in this league but I don’t understand why the media has to talk down on my game just to uplift other backs. We all are talented football players and can ball.
