The 'First running back drafted' quiz

The Dallas Cowboys have been relatively quiet in free agency, with linebacker Eric Kendricks being the biggest name signed so far. But with Tony Pollard taking his talents to Nashville, the team now has an opening in the backfield and are reportedly open to reuniting with Ezekiel Elliott. After spending the first seven seasons of his career in Big D, Zeke had a forgettable season in New England in 2023. But the three-time Pro Bowler is still just 28 years old and could provide his former team with just the boost it needs as it tries to stay near the top of what will, no doubt, be a highly competitive NFC playoff picture in 2024.

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. Elliott was taken by Dallas at No. 4 overall in 2016. So with that in mind, how many of the first running backs selected in the NFL draft since the year 2000 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
