Ellis went from non-factor in Dallas to a Pro Bowler in his new position after spending most of his career as a defensive end. He had 12½ sacks, forming a dynamic pass-rushing force with All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware.
"It's been great," Ellis said. "I thank God for blessing me, letting me get out there and have a good support group, starting from the doctors.
