Former Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott has said he wants to be drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.

If Jerry Jones makes that decision with the Cowboys' No. 4 overall pick, ex-Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor says Elliott will be in the Hall of Fame one day.

"I feel like [Elliott] is the right now," Taylor said on the NFL Network. "He's the past, the present, and the future. If their offensive line can stay healthy for Dallas, he's going to be a Hall of Famer, if this guy can stay healthy.

"I was impressed. One, for his size. Two, if you just roll the tape and see this guy, guys didn't want to hit him. Then when I saw him in person, I was like 'I don't really want to hit this guy either.' This guy is built for speed, he's built to the ground. They like to talk about his hands if he had a weakness. But Dallas, just running behind that big offensive line, it's going to be scary when he gets to that second level."
