It seems like hurdling is becoming more and more common in the NFL. It’s like a Madden player that just discovered the button, players are trying it in all kinds of situations.
Sometimes it works, and it looks very cool. Other times it doesn’t, and it looks rather foolish (not to mention it is probably one of the riskier moves you can pull when it comes to injuries).
Ezekiel Elliott did not have to worry about any of that in the league’s latest hurdle. He hopped over Tre Sullivan as though the two had choreographed it from the beginning.
Doesn’t get much cleaner than that, unfortunately the play ended with Zeke stumbling and falling down more on his own accord than anything.
