Watch: Ezekiel Elliott gives the Cowboys' offensive linemen their Deere-lightful Christmas gifts
Ezekiel Elliott may be a rookie, but he has a veteran’s savvy when it comes to one of the rules of running back life: take good care of the men that take care of you.
The Pro Bowler gathered the Dallas Cowboys’ linemen on Friday to present them with the generous Christmas gift he’d gotten them – John Deere Gator 855d ATVs that start at $17,000. Each.

And since Boys will be Boys, Elliott and the linemen promptly hopped in the vehicles and started racing them, both inside and outside.
