The season of the NFL is upon us. This fresh season brings with itself some new faces, new players, and heaps of singing. With teams looking to better their records and win the Super Bowl title, the sides are doing their absolute best to win the ultimate glory! Recently, Rich Eisen on his show discussed a player’s transfer in particular that can bolster the team’s chances in the upcoming season.

Ezekiel Elliott, the former Dallas Cowboys running back has changed teams and joined New England Patriots ahead of the fresh NFL season. For the teams to be successful, running backs must form a solid relationship with the quarterbacks. During the practice sessions, Zeke would be looking forward to doing the same with Mac Jones. Weighing on the team’s players, Eisen gave words of appreciation for Mac Jones as well as Ezekiel “Zeke” Elliott.

Mac Jones and Ezekiel Elliott: Rich Eisen’s winning combination

Rich Eisen gave his honest opinion about the change in proceedings on the Patriots’ side. Speaking on his show “The Rich Eisen Show”  the renowned sports commentator gave his two cents on the Patriots shakeup. He said confidently “This guy plays all three-downs….Because he passes protects as well he does everything. He’s going to be a guy on their third down. Making sure that Mac Jones’s quick game doesn’t suck.” 

Eisen went on and spoke about how Zeke would enable a smooth transition giving huge appreciation to the veteran running back as he joins the relatively new QB in the Patriots’ latest title hunt after missing out on the last five seasons.

He wasn’t lying when he said “…And who’s going to do it? Zeke, Zeke is going to be great for the Patriots….. because folks he’s been around for so long!” Eisen is fully behind the new partnership of brave-faced Ezekiel who comes after Dallas exit, and Mac Jones. The QB has struck a chord with fans due to his off-field behavior too.
