Ezekiel Elliott gets Cowboys offensive linemen UTVs as Christmas gift
Running backs and quarterbacks buying their offensive linemen Christmas gifts is nothing new, but Dallas Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott has set the bar high for 2016.
On Friday, Elliott surprised each of the Cowboys offensive linemen with a brand new UTV — or utility task vehicle. The big guys were ecstatic:

Elliott’s contract includes $24 million in guaranteed money, so he can certainly afford it. Still, that is a very generous gift from a rookie.
Judging by what he said earlier in the season, you know Elliott has no problem giving the guys in the trenches credit for the 1,551 rushing yards he has racked up this season. Kudos to him for the gesture.
