If you've seen Ezekiel Elliott's hops on the football field—-he's been known to jump over defenders in addition to running though and around them—-it's not hard to imagine him as a standout basketball player.

And in high school, the rookie Dallas Cowboys running back was just that. And much, much more.

Besides football, Elliott excelled at baseball, track, and basketball. At only six-feet tall, with skills that included a perimeter game as well as the ability to dunk the ball, he was probably good enough to play Division I hoops.
