Well, let me tell ya, 2016 was a real barn burner for them football fellas, especially them running backs. You know, the ones carrying that there ball like it’s a sack of potatoes.
Now, I ain’t no expert, mind you, but even I heard about this young whippersnapper named Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah, that’s right, Ezekiel Elliott. Folks were hollerin’ his name all over the place. Seems like he was runnin’ faster than a scalded dog!
They tell me, this boy, Ezekiel, he was the leading rusher in NFL 2016. That means he ran the farthest with that ball, more than any other fella in the whole dang league. Imagine that! Runnin’ and runnin’, and nobody could catch him. He must’ve been eatin’ his Wheaties, that’s for sure.
- Now, they got all these fancy numbers and stats, talkin’ ’bout yards and carries and whatnot.
- I don’t pay much mind to that gibberish, but they say Ezekiel, he had a whole heap of yards. More than anyone else, they say.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout how many games he played, too. Said somethin’ ’bout “Gms,” whatever that means. But the long and short of it is, he played a lot, and he ran a lot, and he ran far.
And let me tell ya, it wasn’t just him. There were other fellas runnin’ too, but Ezekiel, he was the top dog. He was the one they were all tryin’ to catch, but they couldn’t. He was just too fast and too strong.
2016 NFL Rushing statistics, they call it. Sounds mighty official, don’t it? Well, whatever you call it, Ezekiel was the king of the hill when it came to runnin’ that there football. He led the charge, you know? Showed them other boys how it’s done.
They have all these records and such, and I reckon Ezekiel, he probably broke a few of ’em. At least that’s what my grandson told me, and he knows all about this football stuff. He even showed me some things on that there internet machine, and sure enough, there was Ezekiel’s name, right at the top of the list.
Now, some folks might say, “Oh, it’s just a game.” But lemme tell you, these boys put their heart and soul into it. They train hard, they play hard, and they run hard. And Ezekiel, he ran the hardest of them all in 2016. That’s why he was the NFL rushing leader, plain and simple.
I even heard tell of some other fellas, like that Derrick Henry. Good runner, they say, but in 2016, it was all about Ezekiel. Derrick, he had his time later on, from what I hear, but 2016? That belonged to Ezekiel. He was the man of the hour, the cream of the crop, the…well, you get the picture. He was the best rusher, pure and simple.
So, if you’re askin’ me who the leading rusher in NFL 2016 was, I’ll tell you straight: it was that Ezekiel Elliott fella. He ran like the wind, he did. And he ran his way right into the record books, I reckon. That’s somethin’ to be proud of, no matter how you slice it.
And that’s all there is to it. No need to make it complicated. Ezekiel ran the ball, he ran it far, and he ran it better than anyone else in 2016. End of story.
You know, back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy stats and highlight reels. But we knew a good runner when we saw one. And let me tell you, Ezekiel Elliott, he was a good runner. A real good runner. The best in 2016, that’s for sure.
So, there you have it. My two cents on the leading rusher in NFL 2016. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits.
