Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott did not crack the top 10 in ESPN’s NFL running back rankings released Tuesday.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler released the list as voted on by 50 anonymous NFL executives, coaches, scouts and players, and Elliott could only muster a place in the honorable mention section.

The top 10 running backs on the list were as follows:

1. Derrick Henry (Tennessee Titans)

2. Jonathan Taylor (Indianapolis Colts)

3. Nick Chubb (Cleveland Browns)

4. Dalvin Cook (Minnesota Vikings)

5. Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints)

6. Joe Mixon (Cincinnati Bengals)

7. Christian McCaffrey (Carolina Panthers)

8. Najee Harris (Pittsburgh Steelers)

9. Aaron Jones (Green Bay Packers)

10. Javonte Williams (Denver Broncos)

An NFC executive provided a possible explanation for Elliott’s absence on the list after placing in the top 10 last year, saying: “He’s still a good player, but that burst he once had just doesn’t seem to be there.”
