FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Ezekiel Elliott’s reunion with the Dallas Cowboys comes long after his days as a two-time rushing champion, presumably as part of a committee of running backs.

The 2016 All-Pro isn’t ready to settle for such a role just yet.

“I think I still am a dominant guy,” Elliott told reporters at a Cowboys charity event Wednesday night, a day after signing a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. “I’ve got to go out there and prove that. That’s the motivation. I think you all know how I feel about competing and leaving it all out there for my team.”

One thing will be different for sure: Elliott’s jersey number.

He’s sticking with 15, his Ohio State number, and his choice for his only season in New England after becoming an instant star in Dallas while wearing No. 21.

“I just kind of look at it as a different era,” said Elliott, who will turn 29 about the same time the Cowboys report to training camp in California in July. “Since they made the rule that running backs could wear the single digits or the teens, I knew I wanted to switch.”
