Eddie George says Ezekiel Elliott is the Rookie of the Year and the MVP

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is having an incredible rookie season.

The No. 4 overall pick leads the NFL in rushing with 1,285 yards and is a big reason why the team has the best record in the league at 11-1. He should win Offensive Rookie of the Year, but is it possible that Elliott takes the MVP as well?

Eddie George thinks so. The four-time Pro-Bowl running back and Heisman Trophy winner told TMZ Sports he thinks Elliott will win Rookie of the Year and the MVP.

George might be a little biased toward a fellow Ohio State Buckeye, but he knows a thing or two about the Offensive Rookie of the Year. After all, he did win the award his rookie year with the then-Houston Oilers after rushing for 1,368 yards.

There’s a lot of stiff competition for the MVP this year, but Elliott has just as good a chance as anyone else.
