First off, Tony Dorsett is awesome.
Second, the Dallas Cowboys legend explains why he’s a HUUUGE Ezekiel Elliott fan — and will be rooting for the guy to break his Cowboys rookie rushing record.
Dorsett rushed for 1,007 yards back in 1977 — and no other Cowboys rookie has surpassed that mark … until now. Zeke is just 2 yards short … and still has 7 more games to go!
The Hall of Famer says he knows his record is going down — but says Zeke might need an asterisk next his name in the Cowboys record book. Check out the clip and see if you agree!
