Ezekiel Elliott came to Ohio State as a four-star recruit and left as the No. 4 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He didn't stop there either, running roughshod over the league in a historic rookie season with the Dallas Cowboys.
Zeke returned to his old collegiate stomping grounds this past weekend and shot a video promo at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on behalf of Ohio State.
"Ohio State definitely prepared me to go to the next level and dominate."

In the video, Zeke says Ohio State "definitely" prepared him for the pros, from everything to taking care of his body to preparing and executing like a professional.
"It was great to see what I learned at Ohio State translate to the next level," Elliott says in the video above.
"The Woody is home. It will always be home. This Ohio State fraternity is a never-ending brotherhood. It's a special place, and you want to come back. You want to come back and see the guys you played with. You want to come see the guys who are coming up behind you and trying to follow in your footsteps.
" ... It's important for me to come back and thank the guys that helped me get along this far and encourage those who are on their way."
