Jerry Jones' Bonkers Quote About Ezekiel Elliott's 'Off-Field' Value is Hilarious
By Kevin Aquino
We figured that Jerry Jones' opinion on Ezekiel Elliott's off-the-field value has done a full 180 since Zeke's holdout over the summer, but we weren't quite expecting...whatever this is.
After one week with a new stud defender in the locker room, it's clear the Cowboys owner was a fan of Robert Quinn's celebration after the Dallas DE sacked Dolphins QB Josh Rosen, but Jones also provided a behind-the-scenes description of what typically goes on in the locker room during pregame, and roped Zeke's weird behavior right into the story.

If spanking yourself in the middle of the dressing room is the key to becoming a two-time NFL rushing yards leader, then by all means, lace up your boots and giddy on up.
The celebration is not only on-brand for the Cowboys, but it's goofy and definitely a little embarrassing at the opposition's expense. It wouldn't be surprising to see more Dallas players bring out the saddle after Jones' public approval.
Robert Quinn on the dance he did after his first sack as a Cowboy: “I kind of joked around with it during our media day thing. Then I was like, ‘Shoot, what do I do?’ Then boom, it just came out. I guess that was like a Cowboy.”

The Cowboys are 3-0 and look like a wrecking machine in the NFC, and if they start coming out to "Old Town Road," too, it'll be a wrap for the entire league.
