Ezekiel Elliott = New Orleans Pelicans Center, Anthony Davis

Ezekiel Elliott has everything you could want in a running back.

He’s powerful, has great vision, can catch the ball out of the backfield, and has the speed to break off long runs.

When comparing him to an NBA star, it had to be a player who does it all. Just like versatile power forward, Anthony Davis.

Davis, much like Elliott, has every skill that a big-man could want in the NBA.

He’s a great shot blocker, rebounder, great from mid-range, can shoot threes, and has the handle of a guard.

Finally, both players dominated in college, winning national titles for their schools, and were high draft picks.
