Ezekiel Elliott earned another accolade for his historic NFL rookie season Friday afternoon when the Associated Press named the Dallas Cowboys running back to its 2016 All-Pro Team.
Elliott was one of three rookies named to the team.

Though Elliott finished short of Eric Dickerson's rookie rushing record, the former Ohio State great led the league in rushing by 318 yards and only played in 15 games.
Elliott finished the season with 1,631 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also added 32 receptions, 363 yards, and one touchdown through air.
The Cowboys finished the season 13-3, and will host the lowest remaining seed of this weekend's opening round on Jan. 15 in Arlington.
