Ezekiel Elliott clearly isn't wasting any time.
After it was reported that he and the New England Patriots agreed on a one-year deal that can be worth up to $6 million with incentives, Elliott is already heading to join the team.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Ezekiel Elliott was flying to New England Tuesday morning to make the signing official. From there, he would then fly with the team to Wisconsin, where the Patriots have jointed practices with the Green Bay Packers.
Elliott is expected to participate in practice, providing people with a first look at the running back with the Patriots.
Elliott also gave people the first look of his new Patriots jersey, with him returning to No. 15 which he wore in college.
Elliott visited with the Patriots at the end of July, with Mac Jones and Elliott pictured having dinner together in Boston following the workout.

Across his seven years with the Cowboys, Elliott has 8,262 rushing yards and 68 touchdowns across 103 games played. On the receiving side, has has recorded 305 receptions for 2,336 yards and 12 touchdowns.
